THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Stefan, can I start with you? Could I ask for your reflections on the week as a whole. You had great performances. Can you reflect on the week, please? Playing on home soil, et cetera et cetera?

STEFAN KOUBEK: Well, I have to whine one more time, because I'm really, really, let's say, disappointment, disappointed, because there was no crowd. It would have been perfect with the crowd this time. I think it would have helped us a lot, but unfortunately there was none.

Yeah, I'm proud of the team, because left everything on the court. They worked together. It was a great week. We practiced good.

Yeah, unfortunately we are going home, but we had a good time, we had a good practice, and we fought to the end.

Q. Could I specifically ask about Jurij, who won his first Davis Cup match early this evening? Proud moment for him. Could I ask for your comments about that and how pleased you are for him?

STEFAN KOUBEK: I'm very, very proud of him, because it was a great match he played today. He was practicing really good and trying hard the whole week.

He didn't play the first day, but today he really showed what he can do. He played a great match.
