If I had Carla waiting for me in an air conditioned hotel room, I might be tempted to default a match as well.

Coria seemed kind of like a prima donna to me. His game was okay...on clay. One of the funniest matches I ever saw was him against Agassi at the Aussie Open. Agassi seriously ran him back and forth for about 2 hours, and by the 3rd set, Coria just gave up. Defaulted the match and went back to the wonderful AC of his hotel room.

I think Agassi did that to a lot of people. I really never cared for Agassi (never got over his spoiled-brat, obnoxious early phase), but I really admired his hyper-fit late career phase. Around that time, it seemed like in every major tournament, some young guy would come out and try to run back and forth on the baseline with Agassi. And often, it would be a really even match for a couple of sets. But by then, the other guy was totally gassed, and Agassi would just keep running for a couple more sets and the beat the guy like a rug.
