Lucho Horna vs Federer

Edited highlights of the last time Federer lost in the 1st round of a Grand Slam event in the 2003 Roland Garros event to Luis Horna. The year after this hiccup turned out well for Federer winning Wimbledon and the Masters.

Horna had hair at this time and lost to Verkerk in the next round after having match point, who then went to make the final.

Luis Horna reached number 1 rank when Junior ATP, secondly players as Massu and Nalbandian. He was formerly trained in Bollettieri academy in U.S., but after in Argentina cause in Lima didn´t have good. His highest rank was 33th. Other peruvians like Yzaga reached the 18th place in 1993, and Olmedo the 1st in 1959 after have won Wimbledon.

@Mantcer Horna was never number 1 in juniors. He was ranked 4th in singles and 3rd in doubles 1997. The source is the ITF

Lucho is retiring from tennis after the Lima Challenger, too many injuries. Hope he can do something with the Davis Cup in the future.

BUENO, EN EL TENIS EN SINGLES SE JUEGA UNO CONTRA UNO...Y EN ESTE PARTIDO EL MEJOR FUE LUCHO HORNA.. UNO GANA Y EL OTRO APLAUDE..

SI SON TENISTAS SABEN ESTA REALIDAD. Y EL QUE DIGA QUE NO, QUE SE VAYA HACER 5 CANASTAS DE DERECHA Y REVES...PERSONALMENTE SOY HINCHA DE FEDERER..PARA MI ES EL MEJOR JUGADOR DEL MUNDO, PERO COMO PERUANO ME SIENTO ORGULLOSO ..QUE UN PERUANO LE HALLA GANADO A FEDERER...SALUDOS.

horna fue un buen jugador pudo haber echo mas creo que le falto perfeccionar su juego sobre todo en el saque que es algo que todo el que quiere llegar lejos debe dominar, su saque de horna no era malo pero no llegaba a ser un buen saque en lo que si se destacaba fue en el dame que te doy. Ahora la cosa es cuando saldran buenos jugadores del perú ojalá y salgan dos buenos jugadores capaces de llegar a estar top10 o almenos 1 y asi capaz tenga futuro el tenis peruano.

We got the talent but mentally we are as creepy as hell that's something which has to change...you people can't deny this fact as Horna had lots of injuries and i feel mentally he wasnt prepared...whats more, Peru had been on the world group a couple of years ago..so.. Hopefully, there are new guys...Duilio and Sergio and i know they'll do their best...

VAMOS PERU A HACER HISTORIA DE NUEVO NOSOSTROS SEREMOS 'CHOLOS PERDEDORES' O LO QUE SEA PARA LOS ENVIDIOSOS...PERO SOMOS GRANDES CARAJO

[stars4her93]

Im peruvian and i feel great to see that someone just like luis could had defeted federer...but the main question is...Who's better now? Federer, apart from his talent, as he does not only works physically but mentally he's prepared for all kind of matches...i mean...they both are almost of the same age but Horna had always been someone who could not believe on himself 100% and that's not only his problem but also a tough issue for all peruvians...

[ragenlove93]

[cortadew]

@ragenlove93 pero es verdad o es mentira??

[ragenlove93]

@cortadew mare que envidioso

[jepc92003]

i feel so gud that Horna screw Fed in this game, I think d best ever was Sampras but Fed is right behind him, 4 some he's d best, if he didn't injured he could have gotten into d top ten but injures playing him bad, I hope another Peruvian comes n gives a hard time 2 top tens in d future.

a ver si le gana ahora el Horna
