New Recruit!
- Serbian Player Ilija Vucic Joins the MCTA
 The MCTA is delighted to announce that new
recruit Ilija Vucic from Serbia signed his
contract with the Academy today (29/06/06).
Ilija, who turns 16 in October has already
won five National titles in Serbia &
Montenegro and was ranked number eight in
the U14’s in Europe.
As his results show he has a vast amount of
promise and MCTA Director of Coaching David
Sammel is confident of his ability:
“We brought Ilija to Monte Carlo for an
assessment week and very quickly we were
impressed by his ball striking ability and
his athletic potential. Given the limited
exposure to international tennis that he has
had we are extremely confident that the
playing schedule
and training that the MCTA will give to Ilija will propel him to the top of the world
junior game in the next two years.”
Ilija is from Belgrade, Serbia and started playing when he was just
seven years old. His favourite surface is carpet (although
that may change once he gets used to the red clay courts of the
Monte Carlo Country Club!) and he is right handed. If he isn’t
playing tennis he likes to spend his spare time cycling.
The MCTA officially starts on September 4th and the first
tournament scheduled for our players is in Hungary. For more
details on the players’ schedule please visit the
