Henman beat Coria in 2002 in Monte Carlo...

[bfonz7]

2002 Monte Carlo TMS, Clay, R64
Monaco Clay R64 Henman def Coria 6-7 7-5 6-1

Coria is vastly improved since then, but you have to think Henman is going to pop this tape into the VCR prior to the match lol[/b]

 

[PureCarlosMoyaDrive]

That would be a smart choice, lol. Coria's gonna take him though. Probably 4 or 5 sets.

 

[VamosRafa]

Coria will win in 3 sets.

 

[hangzhou]

agree with Susan. I just don't know who will win among Coria and Nalbandian.

 

[AndyC]

oh well.. seeing as I've only gotten Safin/Federer/Ferrero predictions wrong prior to this one.. Coria to win in 4 sets .

now come on Tim !

TIM: PLEASE BEAT THAT PESKY, IRRITATING MULLET CORIA. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

 

[Pushmaster]

Any pro player can beat anyone on any given day, just ask Agassi. It wouldn't be inconceivable for Henman to win, but I'm taking Coria in straight sets.

Hasn't it hit anyone yet....what if Henman wins THE FRENCH....that would turn my world upside down. He's the guy who everyone said can't win slams at all. It would be a sweet revenge for him to do what Edberg, Becker, Sampras, and Mac couldn't. I hope he does it!

 

[Shaolin]

I agree he has very little chance against the little forest pigmy, but that would be so great if he did get to the final.

This proves that S&V lives on, although he might not be s&ving at all from all of the coverage of Henman that Ive seen (exactly NONE--thanks ESPN @ssholes!!). Ill assume he is. Go Tim.

Well as you know i've been living the Henman dream for 3 weeks now and I really don't want it to end.

I think he can, and will take the Poisson Pigmy down!

I think Henman will win in 3 or 4 sets.

Henman's precision volleys and outstanding serves and returns will just be too much to handle for the mullet.

Vamos Tim!!!

I think Coria is favorite to win this semi, but to take down Tim he will have to be perfect with his defensive game specially the passings.

For those who play two-handed backhand, how difficult is it to hit low passing shots(I mean at net level)?

 

[Aonex]

It's a shame Henman/Coria wasn't the final... especially since Guga is out of the draw on the other side. Whoever wins this match has got my vote to win the final.

I'd like to see a Nalbandian/Henman final, but this semi should be a great match. Go Timmy!

 

[boris becker 1]

Henman is going to win in straight sets. Coria doesent like to hit passing shots hes much better when he has time.

Henman has been in big finals before there is no pressure on him. Coria will choke like last year against Ferrero.

Coria choked against Verkerk last year. That said, Coria seems to have too much clay-court prowess and awareness for Tim to match up well against him. Also, I don't believe that the winner of that semifinal is neccesarily the favorite to win the tournament. Nalbandian has been playing lights out recently, and can hang with Coria, and is adept enough at passing shots to drive Henman crazy on clay. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Nalbandian wins it all.

 

[Feña14]

Yeah Boris, you know what your talking about. Those parties sound like a good idea!

Rule Britania

So does that mean your from England? Where abouts?

[PureCarlosMoyaDrive]

Coria could be in a little trouble, because low shots can be a trouble for him to pass with. Henman is insanely mentally tough, like so good, and if he comes out striking from the start, not allowing Coria to get into any rhythm, then it could turn into a real match. Henman has to play lights out though, but I'm still calling Coria in 4 sets.

Nalbandian will win it all though....
