Q You arrived in Umag in great shape. Does that present an extra pressure on your play in Umag? SKUGOR I don't feel pressure, actually i was nicely surprised to be invited, i didn't expect it. It wouldn't be easy for me to go to the qualifications after Bastaad.

Q In Umag, in round one, you will play against Volandri. Are you happy with that? Volandri always states he likes to play in Umag and here he made memorable results. SKUGOR For an ATP tournament Volandri is a good draw, I cannot be dissatisfied. I know he likes to play here, but I think I have a good chance. [EDIT- Skugor's price continues to fall- sub 1.50 has been matched on Betfair].
