THE MODERATOR: We will start with English questions for Team Slovenia.
Q. Commiserations today, but can you sum up your feelings and how you think the match went, Tamara?
TAMARA ZIDANSEK: Well, I was pretty angry after the match, because I think I played a really good match, and she just played better. It's tough to go on after a loss, you know, after we're 0-1 down. But I think I played a really good match, so it was even harder for me, because that would have meant 1-1, you know, and I think we would have chances in doubles.
So, yeah, I was pretty disappointed but also proud and happy with how I played.
Q. Could you give us a word on how Kaja is feeling and what she was going through during that match?
CAPTAIN ANDREJ KRASEVEC: Kaja is feeling good. She's at hotel now, resting, and tomorrow everything will look okay.
Q. Obviously you guys are disappointed right now, but can you talk a little bit about how incredible this week has been for you, all of the team, and making history for your country?
TAMARA ZIDANSEK: Yeah, I mean, we are disappointed because we wanted to win. I think that we all felt like we could, but at the same time, we're proud, so it's kind of bittersweet because we gave it our all. We had an amazing week here. As a team, we had fun.
These are the memories that we're going to keep. I think when we draw the line, it was a really, really good week.
