Croatia's best tennis player Marin Čilić tops
the list of favorites at the 24th Vegeta Croatia
Open, which will take place in ATP Stadium's courts in
Umag, from July 18 until July 28, 2013. The world number 11 will
arrive in Umag to defend the title that he had won last year, thus
giving Umag another Croatian winner after 22 years.
"The competition at the tournament in Umag is always rather
strong and I know that defending the title will not be easy. Still,
nothing is sweeter than to win on one's home court and that is why
I will do everything to repeat the success from 2012. Playing in
Umag gives me great pleasure; the organization is excellent and the
fantastic atmosphere both on and off the court with great many fans
motivates me and inspires me to give my best. I look forward to
playing in Umag again!" Čilić said.
This year, as so many years before, we will pay special attention
to the players who have left an indelible mark on the tournament
with their results and achievements. Moreover, we expect certain
new and attractive names from the very top of the world's
tennis.
"Winners keep returning to the tournament thus confirming that
Umag is a well organized event, a tournament that the tennis
players like to participate in. We are very pleased that Marin
enjoys playing here and that we will once again watch him on our
courts. Our goal is to also bring to Umag some other attractive
tennis players who still have not competed in Umag. With the
reputation that Umag has built over the past 23 years in the world
of tennis, I am confident we will achieve that goal," director
of the tournament in Umag Vanja Božičković
stated.
