Vucic Suffers French Open
Heartbreak
 Ilija
Vucic's hopes of a place in the main
draw of the French Open Juniors were
dashed after he suffered a
heartbreaking three-set loss in the
second round of the qualifying draw
at Roland Garros.
After his impressive victory over
Frederic de Fays on Thursday, Ilija
went down 6-2, 3-6, 8-6 to
Slovakia's Andrei Martin in Paris.
"It was a brave performance," said
coach David Sammel. "Ilija had a big
chance at 4-4 in the third set but
we can have no complaints. It was
basically a tough fight and he got
pipped."
Martin, who was ranked as high as
No. 8 in the ITF Junior Rankings in
January, reached the quarterfinals
of the French Open Juniors last
year.
Vucic is a junior member of the
Monte Carlo Tennis Academy a
unique, touring academy based in
Monte Carlo with the mission to
develop Top 100 tennis players.
