RG quarters
Now in the semis of a G1 in Germany. Just took out the top seed, #11 in the rankings, 6-4 6-4. Also in the finals of the doubles.

16 years old and up to 28 in the rankings :)

great, really great!!!
i didn't see that's happed because he played match (actually hole tournament) on completely other part of the worls only 4 days ago. and that was on hard, this is clay. in that situation almost anybody should beat 17 years old unexperienced player.

Mate played Futures tournaments in GRB last week and again this week. He reached R2 both times.

Last week he beat the #7 seed, Blake Strode (#491) in R1 (excellent win!) but then lost to a player in the 800s.

This week he beat a top 40 junior in R1 but then lost to the #7 seed, Chris Eaton (#426; CH #317).

Mate has been making his way up the rankings nicely. He reached a CH ranking of 773 last week.

This week he's into the QF at Heraklion Challenger. In R1 he crushed the #4 seed Bloemke (#486, CH #302) 62 62. He was less impressive in R2 (needed three close sets to beat #1007 Kosler) but managed to win.

Also, he's at his CH doubles ranking of 211. Not bad for an 18 year old!

Its a futures unfortunately, but still good nevertheless.

If i'm not mistaken, with this win he will jump like 100 spots up from his current rank of 640. :worship:

Plays Petzschner next for a chance to get another 100 ranks. :D

I was very impress with Mate. He's a great serve and volley player but unfortunately courts are too slow this days for that type of the game. I loved his serve the most. Not as fast but great placement with a nice kick. He needs to move better and gain few pounds. Under right coach, he should be in top 100 within two years.

its depressing. He plays a style of play that almost no one does anymore and i dont know of to many youngsters that can serve and volley well. The slowing down of the courts is killing off his style of game

its refreshing watching him because he's not just someone who wants to pound the ball harder

MATE: ¨Najdraža pobjeda mi je ova protiv Ferrera zato što je na domaćem terenu i usto jedna od najdražih pobjeda je u Wimbledonu kad sam osvojio juniorske parove.

ZOE: What's on your playlist at the moment? What is the most embarrassing song on your music player?
MATE: Trenutno slušam Jelenu Rozgu...

LJUBA: kakav je osjecaj osvojiti wimbledon
MATE: i fenomenalan i fantastičan...

do i read this right, he wants to make top 150 by the end of the year?

he's also planning to play kitzbuhel so apparently he's counting on a wild card..he seems fairly confident so it seems like he knows he'll get it

i want to know how in the hell he's getting these wild cards. Umag makes sense but the univef open and kitzbuhel are a little surprising

Misty, he's planning of improving his rank about 150 more positions this year. :)

Also for Austria, he said he will play 4 tournaments there, one of which will be ATP Kitzbuhel so i guess he already presumes he will get the wild-card.
