This guy deserved his thread away earlier. He is one of the best croatians prospects. I would say the best one after Borna Coric. He was runner up at AO doubles recently and now he is climbing well in pro's.
So, he is in quaters of Zagreb Futures. First time and from qualies! He is on 5 sets winning strike (10 sets winning stike after he lost 1st set in 1st match). Filip had 3 really good wins in last 3 matches: first 3 & 2 vs Mesaros, than 6 & 1 vs Marie and last one 1 & 0 vs George Morgan. Today he will play Czech Jan Minar (384; 3 years ago he was in mid '100). If he win this match he will be 884th and one of the best of his generation.
Actually with this result he will be top 1000 (around #913).
He plays on 2nd Futures in Uzbekistan. He is 1st seed in qualies. He won his 1st match easily, now he will play vs another Uzbek who is also his generation like the other one. This guy doesn't have ranking (like the other one, too) so Filip should win (if he is not too tired).
Filip broke into top 1000 for the first time last week. He is 11th among his and 1995 generation (only one player of 1995 generation is ahead of him). Actually that is the only younger player infront of him.
He will play on two bosnian's Futures in next two week. He can gain few points there too. He is directly in MD of first one while he is 4th under the line in the 2nd one.
Filip picked up another ranking point this week, at France F17. Unfortunately in R2 he drew the top seed, Gicquel, who used to be top 40. Filip kept it pretty close, losing 46 67(3).
Next week he'll move up to a new CH ranking of around 865 (currently 887).
Plays Rosol in R1. I don't really see much of a chance with Rosol's firepower, but as long as he goes out there and plays his best and just enjoys the match it's going to be fine.
