French Open 2004 - Day 12
Argentine Guillermo Coria exults on winning his semi-final match against Briton Tim Henman.
The third seed came back after losing the first set and trailing 2-4 in the second to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-0, 7-5.
The hard-fought victory set up an all-Argentinian final. The last Argentine to play in the title match here was Guillermo Vilas, the man after whom Coria was named, in 1982.
"It's a childhood dream to be in the final," Coria said. "We are guaranteed an Argentine to win the tournament."
