On April 20, 2006, in Monte-Carlo, tennis player Guillermo Coria achieved a remarkable victory, securing his spot in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Coria, who was the runner-up at the 2004 French Open, managed to defeat Nicolas Kiefer with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 6-3. What made this win particularly noteworthy was Coria’s performance on his serve, where he committed an astonishing 23 double faults throughout the match. The Argentinian’s serve had been a point of concern since he underwent shoulder surgery at the close of 2005. This struggle was not new, as he had already registered 20 double faults in his preceding match.
