Borna Coric: “It was magical to beat Roger Federer on grass”

Borna Coric has described the experience of beating Roger Federer on grass as ‘magical’. In 2018, despite winning eight points less than Roger, Borna prevailed 7-6, 3-6, 6-2 to claim his first ATP 500 title, heading to Halle with only two ATP wins on grass! “Of course, it was a magical moment to beat Roger in Halle [in 2018], the then world no. 1 on his dominant surface,” Coric admitted. However, you won’t find Coric dwelling on his wins, only his losses. “Honestly, I didn’t see the match against Roger too many times; only highlights with the best points. I don’t usually watch my matches, especially the ones I won; I don’t feel I can learn from those encounters. On the other hand, I look at the ones I lost; I have to study those closely to learn from my mistakes.” Source: tennishead
