#2 Borna Coric vs Grigor Dimitrov
Coric is considered ‘Baby Djokovic’ by tennis enthusiasts and analysts alike. The 19-year-old, who is the youngest player in the ATP Top 50, has been somewhat of a giant killer, beating both Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray in straight sets in the past two years.
He has a similar style of play to the top-ranked Serb, with both players prone to attack and play aggressive tennis from the baseline.
Dimitrov, meanwhile, is called ‘Baby Federer’, a comparison that neither he nor the Swiss GOAT is particularly fond of. The two have often been compared because of their similar styles of play, their backhand, similar serves, their grips, and several nuances of their respective games, although of course it is Federer who, as arguably the greatest player to have ever played the game has a fluidity and motion Dimitrov does not possess.
Considering the long, tenuous Federer-Djokovic rivalry – that currently stands perfectly even, with each of the two having won 22 of the pair’s 44 matches, perhaps a match between two players who emulate their game and see constant comparisons to their legendary counterparts would be an interesting match.
