For the first time in 18 years, a team coached by Zeljko Obradovic started the EuroLeague season with back-to-back defeats.
Fenerbahce has been winless in the competition (0-2), following the loss to Crvena Zvezda. Since participating with Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague in 2001, the Serbian coach has always been victorious in the opening rounds of the league.
