Borna Ćorić, who today had to withdraw from the tournament in Umag because of an injury, joined Ivanišević in expressing his support. “I would like to applaud all our heroes who have saved Split and the surrounding area. As much as I felt that not being able to play in the tournament, having a stiff neck, and getting a raw deal were the worst things that could ever happen to me, I quickly realized that there were worse things happening to people and that we should all be grateful for what we have.”
Just before the start of the second day of the ATP tournament in Umag, Goran Ivanišević expressed his support for all the people in Split who had been bravely fighting the fires over the past few days. His support for the firefighters and the heroes out in the fire-affected areas was reaffirmed by Borna Ćorić.
Talking to HRT, he said: “It was terrible, I was in contact with my family and friends the entire time. I would like to use this occasion to thank all the good people who had come to Split from all over the country without even thinking about it, the army and all the citizens of Split who refused to be overwhelmed by the fire, as well as all the Split firefighters – they are the heroes here, and they all joined the firefighting efforts. We have once again shown that when there is a problem in Croatia, we all rally together and become as one, and that’s the most important thing”.
