After two years, Borna Ćorić is once again in Umag and will soon be playing his first match here in four years. Two years ago, he was dubbed one of the favorites to win the title but had to withdraw just before the start of the tournament because of an injury, which means that his last match at Stella Maris was played in 2015.
“I am pleased to be here again. Umag is my favorite tournament: this is where I had my first ATP win and I feel at home here,” said Ćorić at the press conference held as part of the 30th edition of the Plava Laguna Croatia Open. This season, Ćorić will enter his first match in Umag ranked 14th in the world, which is his best ranking ever during his time competing in Umag.
