But to me, a man who has been connected to sports for almost my whole life, for many years the first association with Umag is tennis. If I had to describe the Croatia Open in Umag in a few words, I would immediately say: tradition, spectacle, great tennis, top organization. This is my experience of this great sport event that, to the pride of Istria and the Republic of Croatia, has entered its fourth decade of existence. I would like to emphasize continuity and tradition because they demand respect. The Umag ATP tournament could survive and be held in an elite tennis society only thanks to a clear vision of hardworking and enterprising people who recognized the strength of the synergy of sports and tourism and always strived for the next step in that field. They also yearned to achieve the spectacle, which sport in its essence always brings forth, and the achieved level of the spectacle became independent of how big the tennis stars are who every year play for the prestigious trophy on the courts of Stella Maris. I have no doubt in my mind that great tennis will be played again, and I doubt even less in the new organization of the next edition of the Cro- atia Open. People of Umag and their friends and partners know no other way than - top notch! “ Zlatko Mateša, PhD, President of the Croatian Olympic Committee Plava Laguna creates unforgettable family holidays in Istria, Croatia.
