Za lijepu i top kvalitetnu profesionalnu opremu i dresove u kojima smo igrali nase matcheve pobrinuo se je HEAD Croatia. Koristimo ovu priliku da se zahvalimo Andreju Salzeru na njegovom trudu i zalaganju i zelji da nam pomogne. Dobili smo komplimente da smo izmedju 33 IC clanice najbolje obucena ekipa na turniru.


At the invitation of the British IC Tennis, the Croatian IC team was a guest at the celebration of the hundredth birthday of IC GB from August 5th to 10th, 2024.

The organizer and celebrant prepared an extremely nice program for us, both sporting and social. It was an exceptional opportunity to meet and socialize with all the other invited participants from 33 IC member states from all over the world.

It was a special feeling to play on the grass courts of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) at Wimbledon, on the same courts where the Wimbledon Championship is held every year. HEAD Croatia took care of beautiful and top quality professional equipment and jerseys in which we played our matches. We use this opportunity to thank Andrej Salzer for his effort and commitment and desire to help us. We received compliments that among the 33 IC members, we were the best-dressed team at the tournament.

IC SA AND ETHIOPIA FIRST DAY WINNERS

IC SA AND ETHIOPIA FIRST DAY WINNERS

It was a good start by the hosts, IC SA and visitors and first time entrants, Ethiopia on the first day of the IC Rod Laver Junior challenge qualifying event in Benoni.

The hosts had little difficulty in brushing aside Botswana as expected. Botswana came in as very late substitutes for Zimbabwe who unfortunately could not field a team. In the past they have always been a competitive force. IC SA lost a mere handful of games as the match turned out to be merely a gentle warm up for stiffer challenges ahead.

Ethiopia quickly adapted to the high altitude conditions where the ball flies through the air quicker and bounces higher off the hard court. Playing the TSA Development team they proved their greater experience in tournament play by being able to capitalize on their chances whilst the young Development players would have learnt that control of shot on important points is a pre requisite in closing out games and sets. 

The Development teams Mpho Masambuka gained their only point when he recovered from the loss of the first set without gleaning a game, to come back and win the second 63 and the Pro tie break 10 4. He showed tremendous character in recovering from the early loss. The Development boys should have taken at least a set in their doubles but a spate of double faults when leading 65 and 40-15, cost them their serve and ultimately the match. But there were some plucky performances from these young development players who are products of Tennis SA Growthpoint development programme.
