Albert Ramos Vinolas gets ready to start his Croatia Open 2021 campaign as the top-seed entering the 2nd round directly after having received a bye in the first round. Vinolas comes to Croatia from the ATP Hamburg Open 2021 where he was defeated in the 2nd round, his first match of the tournament as he received a first-round bye there as well.

Vinolas will be playing in his 10th Clay tournament of the season and has been fairly successful having reached 2 semi-finals and 2 finals, winning the 2021 Estoril Open in Portugal, picking up his 3rd ATP career title in the process and will be looking to win another title this season as the Clay season is coming to end for 2021.

Duje Ajdukovic makes a winning start in his debut main-draw appearance in an ATP tournament as he reaches the 2nd round defeating qualifier Andrea Collarini 6-3, 6-2. Duje had received a wildcard into the tournament that saw him make his ATP main-draw debut and the 20-year old Croatian has made the merry of it.

Duje is yet to go past the quarter-final stage this season but having entered into the main-draw and having won on the debut, he will surely be taking the confidence going into the future tournaments.
