Tennis agent & tournament director of the Croatia Open in Umag, Tomislav Poljak joins us for Episode 115!
Tomislav is part of Starwing - a boutique sports management agency that represents top tennis players. Alongside his role as an agent, he oversees tournament operations of the ATP 250 clay-court event in Umag 😃
We talk:
- Day to day life as an agent
- Signing junior talent
- What he looks for in players
- Running the Croatia Open in Umag
- Securing top talent to play in Umag
We rarely get the chance to talk to tournament directors the podcast, so to get some insight into the running of a top level tennis event from Tomislav was particularly interesting.
