"Agassi asked me every two months how much I weighed. I would say 66, 67, 67 and a half, he asks me once, twice, three times, the fourth time I grab Gil Reyes (Agassi's coach) and ask him what's going on, why he keeps asking me how much I weigh," the Magician began to recount. Then, he added: "He would ask me, turn around and leave, he wouldn't give me a chance (to talk). Besides, I feel a respect, for me Agassi and Chino Ríos are God."
According to Coria, his coach explained the reason behind the American's insistence: "Andre has an obsession, Gil Reyes tells me, because he wants to weigh the same as you, because he's obsessed with your speed and coordination, he doesn't understand how you get to every ball so well positioned."
To conclude, Coria recalled that after losing respect for Agassi in a training session, he later managed to beat him at Roland Garros, and since then the American never wanted to share a practice with him again, distancing himself.
