THE MODERATOR: We will start with questions in English.

Q. Congratulations. Andrej, can you just explain how proud you are of the team and talk us through the day and how it unfolded from your perspective.

CAPTAIN ANDREJ KRASEVEC: Thank you. Well, I'm proud of my team before this match, and I'm proud of my team after this match. We did our best, and you saw it. It was 2-0 after singles. Then Ela and Veronika played an amazing match. I'm really happy that we won today.

Q. Can I just ask whether you considered playing Kaja and Tamara in the doubles? What was the thought process behind not using them in the doubles as well?

CAPTAIN ANDREJ KRASEVEC: Well, Tamara and Kaja have three more matches in singles (smiling). They have two days off, and then three singles matches. It's a lot (smiling).

Q. Just a question for either Veronika or Ela. How was your experience out there today? How did you feel like you performed?

ELA NALA MILIC: Yeah, I think it was a great experience. I didn't know if I'm going to enter in the court until, like, 30 minutes before the match, but I think the atmosphere was amazing. You know, all the people cheering for you, it's something that you are looking forward to.

So I really, really enjoyed today's match. Even though the outcome was not in our way, I mean, anyways, it's a win for Slovenia today.
