Despite the first round defeat at the tournament, Antonio Veić was in a good mood when he was hanging out with the young tennis players at today's Kids Week. He said that a performance in front of the local crowd is a lot of pressure for a tennis player.

"I had the biggest desire and I was really looking forward to Umag, but being nervous got the best of me", he commented on his performance against Blaž Kavčić. "The atmosphere is great at this tournament, but unfortunately my game is the worst here. I think it will be better each time I try", added Veić who played five times in Umag. Veić spoke about the young tennis players against whom he played. "These are definitely some promising young players, I'm sure some of them will have a serious career in tennis.
