The young tournament favourites Borna Coric (22) and Alex de Minaur (20) are living up to the expectations in Rosmalen. The second and third seed reached the quarter-finals on Wednesday evening.

Coric was facing a tough task in his second round match against Taylor Fritz who is one year younger. However, the ‘match of the day’ was not disappointing and Coric even lost a set to his contemporary, but at the end he could call himself the winner: 4-6 6-3 6-3.

De Minaur had to defeat the crafty veteran Andreas Seppi and he did so convincingly: 7-5 6-3.

Frances Tiafoe, another acclaimed talented member of the new and upcoming generation, was not able to beat Jordan Thompson. He was defeated with 6-3 6-2.

Thompson will meet his Australian compatriot De Minaur in the quarter-finals. Coric will play against Chile’s Cristian Garin or Robin Haase.
