Part-time tennis player Matija Pecotic was forced to request more time off from his finance job after a shock victory at the Delray Beach Open.
World No.784 Pecotic stunned Jack Sock 4-6 6-2 6-2 in Florida on his ATP Tour main draw debut after coming through qualifying at the event.
The 33-year-old Croatian, who juggles a full-time job at a real estate investment firm with his tennis career, had to leave work early for his clash against the accomplished American Sock. And Pecotic produced a remarkable performance as he fired 10 aces and 30 winners on his way to a monumental first round victory in just over two hours.
