The most talented Serbian junior Filip Krajinovic (15) has advanced in the newest ITF list for players under 18 years of age for 129 places. After winning the tournament in El Paso he has climbed to 393rd place, which lead him one step closer from our best juniors Ilija Vucic and Dusan Lajovic who are already playing on professional tournaments.
The popular “Fica” has never lost a match in Serbia from players of his age or 1 year older. He has been the number 1 player of the state for a few years. His favourite player is Rodzer Federer. He uses “Wilson” racquets, he is right-handed, and he prefers backhands. He is the potential new Novak Djokovic.
Begin to wonder weither our Filip would become another flop from Bolletieri Inc. (Too much work as a youngster) and join Arias Krickstein or (in a way) Haas in the "Could have been a far better player" flock.
well clay is useful to get injured less than playing on hcs plus he got injured on back-shoulder i think, so i dont think its clay the one to blame about it anyway!
That's not true. Hard Courts cause impact injuries. Clay courts can damage muscles, and cause strain injuries, because players have to hit through the ball a lot harder to win the points, and run on court. Both type of courts can cause injury, but as far as I'm aware Filip's injuries haven't been impact injuries?
IMO The one to blame is Bolletieri Academy that produces mostly players performing a couple of years and then struggling with recurring injuries.
There is something wrong with their programs in term of amount of work and search of flexibility and relaxation. Especially on very young players.
Great news, hope he can make it into MD. I would really like to see him perform and make my conclusions regarding his game at the moment. Esp. after recent drubbings at the hands of Vesely that left me scratching my head.
Looking good! Saw the game today, i´ve had my doubts about Fico, but hopefully he can stay healthy and be professional in his tennis and be an regular Challenger player soon.
Niiice!
Having seen some of it, I'm still in two minds about him. His game still looks kind of "lightweight" and he is getting impatient too easily. Anyway, his next opponent is Bautista-Agut, so good luck tomorrow! :boxing:
Filip is in Idaho with other guys for Davis cup vs USA. He is a 5th member there. Hope he is all right and fit to get his confidence and some tips from Nole and Ziki and viktor
Great that he was called to join DC team. Not only because of the opportunity to train with other guys but because it meant that he was healthy and that back problems that forced him to pull out from Cherbourg challenger (and maybe also from two futures in Croatia) were behind him.
But his Rome CH QR2 match service statistics is worrying... looks to me like there still might be some back injury... Hope I'm wrong.
When I see my messages from 2 years ago and how good Filip was i almost start to cry.
