Time for revenge?

Not without adversity, Coric has always beaten Kokkinakis in 3 confrontations. Yet today, it has never been so takeable...

Indeed, Borna Coric is having a bad season. Hampered by injuries, the former world No. 12 finds himself No. 84 with 14 victories for 16 defeats this year. At 27, the Croatian no longer seems to hurt his opponents very much. Its quality of movement will be better highlighted on hard than on grass, but its small power deficit scares me. On the other hand, facing Kokki he will find himself in the position of the guy who must hold the rally, play long, hold the backhand diagonal, play one more shot... in short, thwart the aggressiveness and power of Kokki. Due to his profile, Coric is comfortable in this type of situation. I would even say that he created himself in these patterns of play. But you feel as I think I do, Coric is not evolving at the same level as before where Kokkinakis is accumulating mental victories this year. Moreover, during the previous edition, he went for a great mental victory against Monfils, we remember it very well! To summarize, a not too favorable match-up for the Australian but better form. Without seeing the odds, I will put it slightly favorite. Let's go see it right away 👇
