Zvonimir “Z” Babic, former Ole Miss men’s tennis team captain, is making strides in Croatia as a professional tennis player. Babic started playing tennis when he was seven years old and held the title of the No. 1 player in Croatia for five years.
He had a shoulder injury when he was 12 that almost ended his tennis career, but two years later, he returned to the game, which led him to be recruited by the University of Mississippi. Through all his struggles and trials, Babic’s passion for tennis followed him throughout his journey from Croatia to UM and back.
