Yes, he is one of the hottest players on tour. He is from Serbia and Montenegro. He was playing a lot of challenger events but he has been on such a roll that he has raised his ranking to where he is about to break into the top 20 in the world. He has wins over Tim Henman, Guillermo Coria, Fernando Gonzalez, Gael Monfils, Tommy Haas, Tommy Robredo, and he just beat Carlos Moya. He grew up playing with and against Ilia Bozoljac back in Belgrade. He can actually play on all surfaces, he has impressive wins on Hard, Carpet, Grass, and Clay. I would still say that Clay is his best surface because he has a good baseline game. He is still really young and you will hear a lot more about him when he gets more television time in Big events.
