French Open 2004 - Day 8
Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten progressed to the French Open quarter-finals with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 victory over Spain's Feliciano Lopez on Monday.
"The reality of being in the quarter-finals again is special for me, maybe more special than when I beat Roger Federer," said the three-times former champion.
Kuerten is bidding to become only the second player since tennis turned professional in 1968 to win the French Open four times. Swede Bjorn Borg won it six times between 1974 and 1981.
