Hopefully Coric can do well. Of those seeds someone like Rosol or Seppi would be the most interesting winner for me.

borna coric in on a wildcard has a tough one today v edouard roger-vaseheadman.

^Coric won the first and is ahead in the 2nd 3-1…just consolidated his break.

First time watching Borna Coric and certainly looks very promising. Such a baby face. Nice to see such good young players on the scene lately. It's been literally years.

 

[Front242]

Coric is reportedly 6' 1" but certainly doesn't look that! He's young enough to grow quite a bit more still though and already pretty strong.

^^yes.. am going to watch the above video but ive seen him a couple of times , once in a challenger tour and some davis cup when he defeated jerzy janowizc in 5 sets,,and a bit of his match vs andy murray.

eddie roger-vaseheadman is in the 40s rank so its a massive win for coric.

eddie roger-vaseheadman :lolz:

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Roger-Vasselin has tailed off a bit since he reached the Chennai final at the start of this year, thought he was set for a decent top 30 year after he ended 2013 quite well, but it hasn't come to fruition. Still an impressive win for Coric though.

Club 30 still rocks. Montanes (33) and outside of the top 100 beats revelation of last week Zverev with 6-4, 6-4.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yes..no great surprise the boy from nowhere lost yesterday..but pls don't lets have him going back to juniors, even if he is closer to 16 than 17yrs old.

challengers/futures/the odd atp250-500 wildcard should be on the menu for the rest of 2014, then take a step back and see where he is at.

Coric plays Horacio Zeballos tomorrow. This could be a winnable match for Coric. Zeballos is the guy that beat Nadal in Viña del Mar in his first tourney back in 2013, so he's got chops, but he's not in the top 100. Good clay player, but he went 3 against his last opponent, whereas Coric got Roger-Vasselin in 2. I hope the young Croat seizes this opportunity.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Zeballos was a flash in the pan with that tournament. Coric has a great chance of winning that one.

borna coric wins 7-6, 6-3..into the qf another of the atp boy wonders goes.

his rank is 230 sort of, so maybe top 200 at least..his forehand is a weapon already. movement all around the court is good and he volleys at the net too.

and he looks a bit like robin van persie.
