Borna Coric is the best Croatian junior player, he is the youngest player in the top 100 (39), one of the most talented young players in the world so he deserves his own thread.
Tomorrow starts a G1 tournament in Traralgon, Australia.In the first round Borna will play against Stefano Napolitano- #10 on the junior ranking.Napolitano is 1 year and 7 months older than Borna and he is #8 seeded on this tournament.
Borna is playing Open International Juniors de Beaulieu sur Mer this week.It's a G1 tournament.In the 2nd round he will play against Quentin Halys from France.He is #106 (93 CH) on junior ranking list,same age as Borna.
Today in 3rd round Borna will play against Konstantin Gerlakh.He is #74 on junior ranking list, but with a CH #46.He is 2 years and 4 months older than Borna, he usually play senior tournaments last 12 months.
They played two times last year against each other:
Pancevo G2 semi-final: Gerlakh won 6-1 7-5
Novi Sad G2 (1/8 final): Borna won 6-1 6-0...
Who knows how this is gonna end...Good luck Borna!!!
In QF Borna plays Bambridge. He's seeded lower than Borna (#7 vs #4) but is ranked higher this week (#37 vs #41).
That's because last week Bambridge won the G2 in France and moved up 19 spots. However, he had a very easy draw--all his opponents were unseeded. Also, last month he won the Gerdau (Grade A) doubles title.
Borna is the great player...hope he will soon play some senior tournaments like Donna Vekic...Donna is now top 300 in the world...hope that Borna will make some senior results too
Borna entered in his first GA QF in his career!!!With this win, he will collect 30 new points and will enter top 30 for the first time on junior ranking list.
They played once in Italy too. That was Italy vs Croatia match in junior's DC or some tournament. Borna won that too. But that was long ago too. Maybe thay even played more matches.
