THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. A tough loss today, but first things first, how are you feeling? Looked like you had an injury. Was it cramp, an injury to your hamstring?

LASLO DJERE: I felt something in the hamstring at that moment. I had an injury earlier this year, but, yeah, luckily I was able to continue and after that moment it felt fine.

I think no big issue there. I just feel a little bit tired, but otherwise, I think I'm healthy.

Q. Albert said in his press conference he was expecting to play Filip. Can you talk a little bit about the decision for you to play singles today?

LASLO DJERE: No, sorry. The captain will tell more about that.

Q. What was it like playing out there? The crowd were obviously really behind Albert, the Spanish player. What was the atmosphere like?

LASLO DJERE: I mean, it was nice to play in a full arena. I enjoyed it. Of course I knew that Albert would get a lot of support from the crowd, but I tried to block it out and I think I managed. I was able to focus on my game and what I'm doing.

Yeah, I just tried to enjoy, to be there, to play and give my best. It was a close one, but unfortunately I didn't get the win, but it was a good battle.
