Tennis: Coria wins Swiss Indoors as Nalbandian withdraws injured

 

 

 

 

 

BASEL, Switzerland : Third seed Guillermo Coria won the one-million-euro Swiss Indoors ATP tournament here when fellow Argentinian and defending champion David Nalbandian withdrew injured prior to Sunday's final.

 

Nalbandian, the fourth seed, said he was suffering from tendinitis in his left wrist, but the injury will not effect his bid for the eighth and final spot in the prestigious Tennis Masters Cup in Houston in doubt.

The 21-year-old had just made his return to competition following a long injury layoff after being knocked out of the US Open by American Andy Roddick.

 

Ironically the injury flared up again following his revenge win over US Open champion Roddick in Saturday's semi-final here.

 

"Roddick's serve is obviously too violent for my wrist," said Nalbandian.

 

The title is Coria's fifth of the year and first ever indoors and as a result the 21-year-old, who is also making his comeback after an adductor injury, passes Andre Agassi for fourth position in the ATP Champions Race.
