Djokovic: Coric is similar to me

Borna Coric is one of the most interesting uprising players on tour.

The young Croatian is often compared to Novak Djokovic because of the similar geography, the same focus and … even the hairstyle! So there are some obvious similarities, but Borna is not the exact copy of Nole.

Djokovic: We are similar, but…

The world no.1 admits “It is true that he reminds me of me, but the media should stop saying that he is my copy or anything like that. Everyone is unique in his own way.

I recognized in Borna, a lot of character traits that I relate to. He has a fighting spirit, has confidence in himself and is not afraid. We’ve trained together in Australia and Dubai.

He has great talent, it’s undeniable, and I hope that, in the future, he can achieve great success.”

Nole and Borna should face each other during this weekend in the Davis Cup tie (Serbia vs. Croatia), let’s see how Coric will react to playing the world no.1.
