Professional player · Serbia · TS WINNER Budva
Branko Đurić
Born 10 February 2005 · Podgorica · raised in Budva
A tennis career is not a list of trophies. It is a line — from the first strike to the day a player must hold a match under the pressure of the calendar. Branko Đurić builds that line from Budva: local courts, a clear coach, a European system, then the professional tour.
From day one, his father Nenad Đurić was beside him — not as a parent in the stands, but as a coach on court. In 2015 Branko won the Smrikva Bowl in Pula, one of Europe’s strongest under-10 events: an early signal that the path was not a local episode, but a long project.
Around age eleven the family chose a harder framework. The path ran through junior coordination at the level of Renzo Furlan and the academies of Riccardo Piatti and Günter Bresnik — schools that do not tolerate improvisation. The junior result is unambiguous: ITF peak No. 6 (2023) and the Wimbledon 2023 boys’ doubles final (with Arthur Géa).
On the professional calendar Branko confirms the same logic: ITF titles (including Bad Waltersdorf, Alaminos, Kuršumlijska Banja), an ATP main-draw debut at the Belgrade Open 2024, career-high ATP No. 448 (20 October 2025), Davis Cup for Serbia, and a college path through USC Trojans men’s tennis.

What makes that career readable is not ranking alone. It is a continuum: Budva → system → junior peak → tour. One figure runs through the whole line — Nenad Đurić, today Head Coach at TS WINNER in Budva, where the family tennis story began.
