THE MODERATOR: How are you feeling? Did you feel like you were in control, you were close? You saved several match points. Did you feel like you could win it?

NIKOLA MEKTIC: Of course. I mean, we felt like we were in control until they broke us back in the second set. The level until then, it was pretty high I think. But after that break they started playing really, really well. Returning great, playing smart. Some crazy points went their way.

All in all I think it was a great match.

THE MODERATOR: Captain, how do you see Croatia's chances going forward?

VEDRAN MARTIC: It's a very tough group. We knew that before. We lost to Italy. Tomorrow we have another match, so we try to prepare as best as possible, try to win the next two matches. That is only way to pass the group, play Final the end of the year.
