Wake up Coric!
The Croatian seriously needs to get back to winning, he is getting closer to leaving the top 100
Another disappointing match from Coric last week in Cincinnati, a tournament he particularly enjoys. But the Croatian isn't playing much at the moment and he doesn't always play great matches. Obviously, we see a very good past in Winston-Salem and we think he'll play at a good level, but we had proof in Cincinnati that it didn't mean much in the end. I'm quite worried about him, especially since I think he's very strong when he manages to string together a lot of matches, which isn't the case. He's lucky to take on a qualifier, but is it really a chance? The young Darwin Blanch is a future good player, it's difficult to know exactly how far he can go, but we see the potential. Left-handed, good server, big spin on his forehand and a bit average backhand that he needs to work on. He's already been beaten right and left, and now he's come out of the qualifiers by thrashing Boyer and then beating Royer in the deciding tiebreak, two very good victories! 82% of points won behind his first, with the same quality of service he will protect himself against Coric and then go and play his luck on the return and given the Croatian's problems with his service at the moment there really is something to do.
