Borna Ćorić (Croatian pronunciation: [bôːrna t͡ɕǒːrit͡ɕ]; born 14 November 1996) is a Croatian professional tennis player. On July 27, 2015, he reached his best singles ranking of world No. 33.
In 2013, Ćorić reached the semifinals of both the Australian and French Open junior events, before going on to win the boys' singles event at the US Open against Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis in three sets. As a result, Ćorić moved to No. 1 in the junior rankings. He also began playing on the ITF Futures circuit, winning five singles titles.
Ćorić made his debut at the 2013 Davis Cup, after he was selected for Croatia's World Group Play-off tie against Great Britain, with his first ever best-of-5 sets match against world number 3, Andy Murray. Despite showing promise, matching the Scot's level in the first 6 games, and breaking his serve in the third set, he would ultimately go on to lose in straight sets.
In April, Ćorić defeated no. 21 Jerzy Janowicz on the first day of Davis Cup, Croatia versus Poland. In May, he made the semifinals of the China Challenger, further improving his ranking.
In July, in the first round of the clay court event in Umag where he was playing with a wildcard, Ćorić scored another notable win over a top-50 player, beating seventh seed, no. 46 Édouard Roger-Vasselin in straight sets. He beat qualifier Horacio Zeballos in the second round to reach his first ATP quarterfinal. In the quarterfinal, he faced second seed Fabio Fognini and lost in three sets. Ćorić entered the top 200 for the first time on July 28 after his run in Umag, at no. 194.
