Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.croatiaopen.hr Stephanie Natal: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @CroatiaOpenUmag Press Room: +385 52 741 452 facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/AtpCroatiaOpenUmag KONZUM CROATIA OPEN UMAG TALKING POINTS TOURNAMENT PREVIEW: The tournament features eight players in the Top 50 Emirates ATP Rankings, led by top seed and World No. 20 Pablo Cuevas, who captured the title two years ago. The other seeds are: Joao Sousa, Jeremy Chardy, Fabio Fognini, Nicolas Almagro, Pablo Carreno Busta, Martin Klizan and Jiri Vesely. Cuevas is the only former winner in the draw. Sousa (2015) and Fognini (2013) are former finalists. Cuevas Top Seed: Top seed Cuevas, who won the title two years ago as a qualifier (d. Robredo) ranked No. 60, is making his fourth tournament appearance (7-2 record). In 2009-10, he lost in the 2R. He reached his career-best fourth ATP World Tour final of the season (2-2) on Sunday in Hamburg (l. to Klizan). The 30-year-old Uruguayan is putting together his best season on the ATP World Tour, winning back-to-back titles in Rio de Janeiro (d. Pella) and Sao Paulo (d. Carreno Busta) in February. He also reached his first grass court final in Nottingham (l. to Johnson). He is ranked a career-high No. 20. Portugal’s Best: No. 2 seed Sousa, who reached the final last year (l. to Thiem), achieved a career- high ranking of No. 28 on May 16. He is the highest-ranked Portuguese player in the history of the Emirates ATP Rankings. After a 5-13 start through April, Sousa has compiled a 13-9 match record, highlighted by the semi-finals in Nice (l. to A. Zverev) and quarter-finals at ATP Masters 1000 Madrid (l. to Nadal) and Bastad (l. to Elias). He is ranked No. 32 this week. Jiri Back on Clay: No. 8 seed Vesely is playing in his first tour level clay court tournament since Roland Garros where he lost in the 2R (l. to Almagro). The 22-year-old Czech Republic native compiled an 8-5 match record on clay after a slow start (1-7) on hard courts in the first three months of the year. He is one of only four players (Lopez, Murray, Querrey) to beat World No.1 Djokovic this season. He defeated Djokovic in the 2R at ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo. This is Vesely’s first tournament since reaching the 4R at Wimbledon (d. No. 8 Thiem in 2R, l. to Berdych in five sets). Klizan Regaining Old Form: No. 7 seed Klizan remained perfect in ATP World Tour finals after defeating Cuevas on Sunday in Hamburg. The left-handed Slovakian is 5-0 in ATP World Tour finals. This season Klizan has been slowed by a right foot injury, causing him to miss 10 weeks of action. In February, he advanced to the semi-finals in Sofia (l. to Troicki) and the following week he captured the biggest title of his career at the 500 level tournament in Rotterdam (d. Monfils). Local Wild Cards: The three wild cards in the main draw went to Croats Franko Skugor (No. 176), Nikola Mektic (No. 292) and Nino Serdarusic (No. 569). Skugor reached the 2R in 2010 while Mektic and Serdarusic are making their first main draw appearance in Umag. The last Croat to win the Umag title was Marin Cilic in 2012. Day 1 Preview: There are two main draw singles matches scheduled on Monday. Serbian qualifier Nikola Cacic opens the tournament in a first-time meeting on the ATP World Tour with British No. 3 Aljaz Bedene, who turns 27 years old on Monday. The 25-year-old Cacic is looking for his first career tour-level win. The next match is another first-time meeting between Argentine Leonardo Mayer and Croatian wild card Mektic. Two months ago the 27-year-old Mektic earned his first tour-level win at Marrakech (d. El Amrani in 1R, l. to Vesely in 2R) as a qualifier.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.
