Milan Pokrajac is from Canada. But the name Pokrajac is distinctly Serbian. It is part of a Serbian heritage that is permeating tennis.
There are two Serbian players in the 2008 Newton Cox USTA Men's Professional Tennis Classic in Mobile, Alabama: the promising young player Filip Krajinovic and the former college player Vladimir Obradovic. Obradovic has won a Futures singles title and three doubles championship.
Among the number of Serbians on tour are Anna Ivanovic, Novak Djokovic, Jelena Jankovic and Janko Tipsarevic.
