His exploits did not quite live up to Andy Warhol's 'everyone
will be famous for 15 minutes' quote but the world number 206
more than surpassed his albeit limited expectations in Baku.

"It's nice that people recognize you, but it's not everything. I

celebrity I'd star in a movie or something," he said.
"Of course it helps if people know you and maybe a few more
doors are open to you than others. You can maybe achieve certain
things easier if you are perhaps more published."
The Slovenian's run came to abrupt end on a windy afternoon in
the capital, with Frenchman Lucas Daniel, the world number 17,
having too much guile and accuracy.
