Borna Coric: 'Beating Andy Murray is one of my biggest triumphs'

Eighteen-year-old Borna Coric says that beating Andy Murray is one of his "biggest wins" following his triumph in Dubai.

Eighteen-year-old Croatian Borna Coric has described his victory over world number three Andy Murray as one of the "biggest" in his career so far.

The youngster, who is ranked 84th in the world, managed to comfortably seal a 6-1 6-3 win in the quarter-finals of the Dubai Tennis Championships.

"[It's] one of the biggest wins, for sure," BBC Sport quotes Coric as saying. "I was just trying to maintain my level, stay in the rallies as long as I can, which I was doing really well. I was also running very well.

"I'm still a little bit struggling with the best players when they are playing really good obviously. I always need to be on 100 per cent, and when I'm on 100%, mentally [and] also tennis-wise, then I think I can play with them."

Coric will face Roger Federer in the semi-finals.
