Coric relives memories of growing up in Croatia: 'I remember we all wanted to go to the final, because the final was always on a Monday, so you wouldn’t need to go to school'

Coric said one player he admired was of course Goran Ivanisevic due to his legendary status and that he was watching him, Ljubicic and Ancic growing up.

He also spoke about a tournament in Croatia where you always got the Monday off school due to the final being on that day so that was always good for him growing up.

"That was Goran Ivanisevic. Obviously, he was a Croatian legend. I was watching also Ivan Ljubicic and also Mario Ancic... Those three I was watching."

"Just playing every week in some tournament in some other city in Croatia. I remember we all wanted to go to the final, because the final was always on a Monday, so you wouldn’t need to go to school. That was great. That was awesome. That was one of the memories which I had back then."

"I did not want to go to school and that was something cool. You could just play the match on a Monday and it was a final, so that was great."
