strong>Basel: The Breakthrough Tournament
After entering as a wildcard to the Basel tournament, Coric showed just what incredible play we can expect from him over the coming years.
In the first round he dismantled world No. 13 Ernests Gulbis in straight sets before beating Andrey Golubev in the second round.
But it was his match against Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals that would announce the youngster to the world.
Yes, the Spaniard had been suffering from injury and poor form for the majority of the season but Coric put on a marvellous display to get the biggest win of his career so far.
A win that saw him crack the world’s top 100 at only 17.
