Vucic Starts Well in Paris
 Ilija
Vucic began his journey towards the
French Open juniors main draw by
winning his opening qualifying match
in Paris on Thursday.
Vucic has risen 600 places in the
rankings over the past eight months
to reach No.86, and, after squeezing
into the qualifying draw, he made
the most of his chance.
He defeated Frederic De Fays, a boy
almost two years older and ranked 28
places higher than Vucic, in three
sets.
Vucic started superbly, taking a
6-1, 2-0 lead before going off the
boil and losing 13 points in a row.
He quickly regained his composure to
seal a 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 victory, and
keep alive his hopes of featuring in
Saturday’s main draw matches.
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.
