Stefanos Tsitsipas
Borna Coric has been an enigma for Stefanos Tsitsipas, seeing frustrating losses in previous matches.

Despite a demanding schedule at the Rome Masters, Tsitsipas showed resilience by winning two matches in straight sets against tough opponents. He has been unable to seize opportunities in previous clay tournaments, falling short in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters and suffering a close defeat in the Madrid Masters. However, Tsitsipas holds an advantage at the Rome Masters, being the only player remaining with a previous final appearance and a clay Masters title under his belt.
Bornac Coric
Borna Coric’s remarkable performance in the Rome Masters has earned him a spot in the quarterfinals. Coric has impressed with his exceptional skills on the court recently and has been on a rapid rise in the ATP rankings, climbing more than 100 positions since returning from injury. His success can be attributed to his outstanding performances at the Masters level, including defeating top players like Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas on his way to claiming his maiden Masters’ title in Cincinnati. Although he faced a setback against Daniil Medvedev in a previous quarterfinal match, Coric bounced back with a convincing win against Daniel Altmaier in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Masters. With his strong form and recent achievements, Coric remains a formidable opponent in the Rome Masters.
