Coria to face Gaudio in French final

PARIS -- Guillermo Coria swept 13 games in a row, then withstood Tim Henman's comeback bid to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-0, 7-5 Friday at the French Open, setting up the first all-Argentine Grand Slam final.

The No. 3-seeded Coria's opponent Sunday will be unseeded Gaston Gaudio, who lost track of the score in the second set but knew when to celebrate after beating yet another Argentine, No. 8 David Nalbandian, 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-0.

The last Argentine to reach the men's final at the French Open was 1982 runner-up Guillermo Vilas, who watched from the third row as Coria and Gaudio advanced to their first Grand Slam final.

"I never thought I was going to be in the final of such a big tournament like this," Gaudio said.

He or Coria will become the first Argentine to win a major men's title since Vilas at the 1979 Australian Open.

"I've dreamed of getting to this very Sunday," Coria said. "It will be a historic moment."
