	Gustavo Kuerten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kuerten began playing tennis when he was six, and met Larri Passos, his coach for the next 15 years, when he was 14 years old.
		It was a close contest with Marat Safin at the year's last event, the Tennis Masters Cup (in its first year under that name) in Lisbon, Portugal, with one loss meaning that Safin would have been No. 1.
		In the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Kuerten took criticism from his own fans, who accused him of not giving 100% in the Davis Cup matches, claiming he would be more concerned with sparing his energy for the ATP tournaments.
