Coria and great anecdote with Nalbandian
Today captain of the Davis Cup team, Coria remembers what it was like to tour the circuit with Nalbandian when they were very young. Rivals and friends who found themselves in these situations… “Having gotten to play the Roland Garros Junior final together was difficult, because we both slept in the same bed… It was a two-seater bed and we put the pillow on the half to avoid touching each other’s legs, ha. The next day I beat him, I didn’t have the time to celebrate too much, heh.”
The Magician pointed out how well they complemented each other with David. “If I felt out of timing, it was a 10-minute rally with him and that was it. He knew where he had to throw the ball to me and I to him. He was a player who was clear at what moment to push to tip the game.”
So many years shared in preparation and then as circuit rivals… “We traveled by train because we didn’t have a penny and we saved… For me it was wonderful and he is a person that I admire and respect a lot.”
