Coria Still Having Service Problems

I never thought I'd hear the day when Guillermo Coria was complaining that a clay court was too fast.

From the AP: Coria loses to Italy's Di Mauro in straight sets

Coria won his first two service games but was broken in his third and fourth, double faulting several times and losing the set on the clay courts of the Fairmont Acapulco Princess in just 31 minutes.

He tried to rally in the second set but lasted only another 52 minutes before more double faults proved decisive.

"I'm playing badly. Not just in this game but all year," Coria said. "I thought I could change the situation today, but it was very difficult. The court is very fast, and [Di Mauro] took advantage of his opportunities."

Yeah - wish I knew whether that shoulder never healed right after surgery or he's just got the yips. Looks like he'll never get that French Open title now.

so sad that coria cant still get to his perfect condition. his weak service for the past several months really affected his gameplan. i wish i could see improvement this season specially on his fave surface(clay) otherwise im afraid that he's retirement would be soon.

Maybe he has problems with his shoulder. It can ( sometimes after surgical treatment or sometimes idiopathic) occur an autimmunologic disease so called Personage -Turner syndrom. He should go to good neurologist or orthopedist to eliminate or determine this diagnosis. When this syndrom is not cured it can lead to completely destruction of brachial plexus ( neurologic amyotrophy ) and even paralysis of diaphragm.
