In 2005, Guillermo Canas was world number 8 and playing the best tennis of his life. Then one positive test changed everything. The Argentine was handed a doping ban for a substance found in prescription medication given to him by the ATP's own doctors. He fought it all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, was acquitted of deliberate doping, but still served 15 months. Gone. At the peak of his career. When he finally came back, ranked outside the top 100, he had a point to prove. At Indian Wells 2007, Canas entered as a lucky loser, a player who lost in qualifying but got in as a replacement, and his second round opponent was Roger Federer, riding a 41-match winning streak and chasing history. Canas pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the decade. Two weeks later at Miami, they met again. And nobody believed it could happen twice.
