Tennis career
Orešar had a highly successful junior tennis career. He is a three-time winner of Orange Bowl,[1][2] his third win coming after beating the then-16-year-old Boris Becker in the final.[3] At one time he was the number one ranked junior in the world.[3]
Orešar's senior career was less successful. Apart from winning two gold medals in the 1987 Summer Universiade (in singles and in mixed doubles with Sabrina Goleš),[4][5] his biggest singles tournament successes were reaching the finals of Athens and Båstad in 1988 and 1989 respectively. A persistent back injury forced him into early retirement from professional tennis in 1991. His highest ATP ranking was #46 in May 1989.
In the early 1990s Orešar took part in founding the Croatian Tennis Association and coached the Croatian national tennis team.[2] In 1995 he bought Jadrankamen, a Brač-based quarrying company, and expanded further into construction and tourism.[2] In 2005 he made the list of 1000 most powerful people in Croatia, compiled by Nacional weekly.[6]
