Coric Knocks Out Ruud

The Croat Borna Coric defeated Norwegian player Casper Ruud 3/6, 7/5, 6/3 in today’s quarterfinals at St. Petersburg Open 2019. “I didn’t start really well, he (Ruud) was playing better than me to be honest, and then in the second set when I lost the break I was thinking that I will come back home but then I started to play better, more aggressively and I think in the end it paid off. I feel great. I won two matches in a row for about probably 4 month, I just feel great. Also I’d like to say “thank you” to the crowd for coming. I was feeling great on the court, hopefully by tomorrow I can recover well and play a good match”.

In the semifinals, Coric will meet the winner of the match Mikhail Kukushkin vs Joao Sousa.
