Who won the 2004 French Open men's singles title after an all-Argentine final?

Gaston Gaudio won the 2004 French Open men’s singles title after an all-Argentine final against Guillermo Coria.

The final was a remarkable five-set comeback. Gaudio lost the first two sets 0–6, 3–6, then recovered to win 6–4, 6–1, 8–6. Coria led 4–2 in the deciding set and held two championship points at 5–4, but Gaudio saved both before prevailing.

The victory gave Gaudio his first and only Grand Slam singles title. He was unseeded and ranked 44th, while Coria was the third seed and widely regarded as the leading clay-court player. Gaudio also became the first Argentine man since Guillermo Vilas in 1979 to win a major singles title.

David Nalbandian reached the semifinals, which helps explain the common mix-up among the Argentine players in the draw. Juan Monaco did not win the tournament.
