Tennis: Spanish Soldier meets the King of Clay

The undisputable King Of Clay and two-time champ Gustavo Kuerten comes up against a Spanish claycourt soldier in Alex Corretja, who will employ some of his finest artillery in a bid to dethrone the master, in the French Open men's singles final today.

Top-seeded Kuerten is the defending champion who first conquered Roland Garros in 1997, outgunning three former champions en route to the emphatic victory - Thomas Muster, Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Sergi Bruguera. Ranked No66 back then, he was the second-lowest Grand Slam champion ever.
