Ep 17 - Gustavo Kuerten, "O Guga", Former Year-End World Number 1, 3-Time Roland Garros Champion, And A Brazilian Hero

Who is Gustavo Guga Kuerten? He was more than the title of this podcast describes. Watching him play is a fantastic experience, and Kafelnikov, Roland Garros champion in 1996, described him as the Tennis Picasso. In this episode, I talk about Guga's career, and specifically about his triumphs in Roland Garros in 1997, 2000 and 2001. His story and career are anyhitng but ordinary. Full of 5 set thrillers, big scalps on all his tournaments in an era filled with grand slam champions hungry for more! What Guga did was truly an extraordinary, timeless achievement, with his career, and at Roland Garros.
