Miomir Kecmanovic played two matches during the day today. First he defeated Abdullah Shelbayh from
\nJordan in singles with 6:4, 7:6 (7:4), and then he lost in doubles with Nikola Cacic. His next rival in the
\nsingles competition will be Czech player Lehecka.
\n\u201cI agreed to compete in the doubles competition because I\u2019m friends with Nikola. To be honest, also
\nbecause I love to play in front of local audience. I\u2019m glad to be in Banjaluka\u201d, said Miomir Kecmanovic.
\nHe also commented on the next match with Czech Jiri Lehecka.
\n"His tennis is good. I haven\u2019t watched him today. We\u2019ll see what happens tomorrow\u201d.
\nKecmanovic requested a medical time-out today but he says he\u2019s fine now.
\n\u201cI felt a bit of leg pain during the match but not anymore. We\u2019ll see. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s serious.\u201d
\nHe also commented on court conditions.
\n\u201cTo be honest, it was difficult to play today. Matches are played in difficult conditions. You have to put a
\nlot of effort and work for every pint. But the most important thing is that I won\u201d.<\/p>\n
Miomir Kecmanovic\u2019s coach is former Marin Cilic\u2019s coach, Ivan Cinkus.
\n\u201cWe work well. We get along. I played two finals. I don\u2019t know if it has anything to do with that but
\neverything advances at its own pace\u201d.
\nThe Serbian tennis player also said that they talk a lot.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s true. The coach and I talk a lot outside the tennis court and it helps. We talk every day even when
\nhe\u2019s not here. I want us to succeed together and I\u2019m grateful for his help\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
