Tough match for Fabio Fognini!
The controversial Italian had to dig dip against 17-year-old Borna Coric. The Croatian took full advantage of the wildcard conceded by the Umag organization to reach the quarters without dropping a single set.
Borna had a great match also against the seed no.1 to lose only after 3 sets after being 1 set and 1 break up. Eventually the Italian manage to recover and win the match 5-7 7-6 (4) 6-3. Match Stats.
