Good morning Nandor Veres, its a pleasure to have you here…  Could you just tell our viewers more about your achievements in tennis and what you have been most proud of in your career?

Good Morning Mark, and thank you for this opportunity to speak with you.

I am very proud that our team was able to help many juniors and players to achieve their dreams! Their success is our achievement.

Looking back on my time spent in tennis, there are quite a few amazing mementos, one of them are a Davis Cup match, our academy player Peter Matyas Nagy (ATP, 620) faced Israelis Dudi Sela (78 ATP), at 2-2 Peter won the decisive- fifth match, in a five sets drama.

Another one is having one of our full time players  selected to participate in the Olympics.

So, you are currently based in Florida and have set up your own junior Academy with your son Nandor Veres Jr.  Tell us about it?

Correct me if I am wrong but you have always specialized in junior players… Who are your tips to replace the top 3 in the world – Novak, Roger and Rafa when they retire?

Actually, I am specialized in assisting players in the ‘ transition phase’ from junior/starting pro, to pro level. To build a pro player besides of talent and luck,  takes many years of systematic coaching… So start early!

Next big star?

I feel the field is wide open; finally the next gen players are maturing. In a couple of years a few new will emerge and stabilize their position and the game is on.

And finally the US Open is just around the corner…  Who are your tips to win the Men’s and Women’s Championships?

Well…Djoko for the men’s… Women? – hard to tell, Serena should win if she does not get injured.
