Coric
Borna is the great surprise of the tournament. The Croat didn’t have great expectation ahead of this Master ATP1000 also because he lost in his opener in the previous 2 tournaments in Shenzhen and Beijing. Borna impressed in the semifinal after dispatching Roger Federer 6-4 6-4 without conceding much to his opponent. This is Coric’s 1st Master ATP1000 final.
