ThrowbackTimes Monte Carlo: Juan Carlos Ferrero eases past Coria to defend title

In the final of Monte Carlo 2003, the crowd had a chance to see the battle between the defending champion and world no. 3 Juan Carlos Ferrero and Guillermo Coria. Due to bad weather, the title match had to go down to the best-of-three format for the first time since 1993, and Juan Carlos became the first player to defend the title in the Principality after Thomas Muster in 1996 following a commanding 6-2, 6-2 victory in just an hour and 16 minutes.
