SSO Report- Preview

The time has finally come! The San Salvador Open, a Tier 1 event in the NSTT, has brought nations from near and far across the multiverse to the country of San Jose Guayabal. Already, Qasdonians have been booking their flights months in advance to San Salvador for this sole event. With four returnees and two prominently doubles faces entering the singles event, as well as three pairs of veterans into the doubles event, Qasden's hopes are high for our Blue and Red Vans!

Preliminary Preview

Halaeo DiGaldi

Ah yes, the young and talented DiGaldi. This Qad athlete ain't nothing to mess with, especially after reaching the quarter-finals at the Electrum Slam in Centralis in her NSTT debut. Now ranked #1 in Qasden, Halaeo has been awarded an automatic spot into the main draw, due to her Multiversal ranking. Until then, let's focus on our Vans in the preliminaries, shall we?

Ty Kanelious vs. Mark Southgate

This will be a treat. Kanelious, a bright-minded fellow from Taxson, has been drawn with Southgate, a powerful athlete from the nation of New Gelderland. Mark, who was ultimately defeated by Qasden's DiGaldi in the ES3's Round of 16, is a heavy favorite compared to the nationwide #3, Ty. But of course, we're with Kanelious straight to the end, no matter when that will be.

Yves Whitz vs. Gilad ben Yehudah

A new face to the singles event, Whitz has been welcomed with a scheduled preliminary against Judea's Yehudah. Doubles partner of Franklin Polymar, Yves had said she wanted to prove that not only is she good enough to compete well in doubles, but that she's an all-around power player. The self-declared pro will test her skills alone when she comes to face a Judean with a heart that never breaks. Should Whitz win, it'd be quite a small upset.

Feyrord Poniac vs. Paisley Brazzos

Oh yeah! The first time to Qads clash outside of Qasden, nationwide #2 Feyrord Poniac, looks to make a better campaign than his last attempt as he is put to the task of defeating Paisley Brazzos. Poniac, whom was defeated in the main tournament at Centralis to Cenian, Andy Amada, has been able to make it past the first round over Meghan Sharples of EFL last time, but since, has been slacking a bit. Brazzos, however, could not reach the main ES3, and was eliminated in the qualifiers. Who will move on for Qasden? Only fate can decide.

Icy Mellows vs. Wei Tsao

I personally don't know how to react to this one. The first ever QAD-LQN meetup in any sport, Wei could be a potential threat, like West Phoencia in IBC21. Icy, the partner of Terry Rèben, looks to make her mark in the singles, and a win for her would be a win for Qasden. She may not be the strongest Van in tennis, but she has the power to whoop the competition. Notable performances? Her and Rèben finished atop their qualifying group in ES3, which led to their eventual doom in the main tournament.

Doubles

Ziccardino IV/Anger vs. Yukon/Zowzer

Somehow, these two made it through the qualifying of ES3, which could be used to make them more useful. Timmy and Måns were thrown in against Luciano and Martina of......well......we don't know yet. What we do know is that the Yukon/Zowzer duo have been preparing for the tough competition at San Salvador, and hope their hard work will pay off in the end.

Rèben/Mellows vs. Maskin/O'Lodge

It's funny how many times we've clashed with the Paputuan duo. Both Ron Maskin and Peter O'Lodge have faced a Qad within ES3. While Qasden won most of the time, our tennis rivals seem to keep popping up, especially win a shutout victory over Kanelious and Vaquelo in Tobiasia. However, when faced against one of the strongest pairs in Qasden, it's safe to say that it could be anyone's game here.

Yehoshua/Paz vs. Whitz/Polymar

Also surprising their own nation by progressing into the ES3 main tournament, Yves and Franklin look to make it further into the tournament than before as they clash with Judea's Ravid and Ofir. While the Qads are full of surprises, the Judeans have been seen defeating the Vans' doubles teams last time in Centralis. Will Whitz and Polymar be able to stop Yehoshua and Paz? Only way to know is to watch the game.

Well, that's all for now. Stay alert for our next report on the recaps of the SSO preliminaries.

Ndakene Tennis Players Get Back into Rhythm En Masse

SAN SALVADOR - It's true, Ndakene players are back in tennis. Times were very hard after the Great Species War, with reconstruction and recollecting the lost values before the War. This Great Species War was the most devastating, tragic, difficult, confusing, and grueling war mankind has ever faced and fought in. Literally billions of humans and nonhumans perished from this 6 year conflict. Unfortunately loved ones from professional tennis player Gabe Anderson and Martin Bond were among those who passed away during the War, and on behalf of NdakuSports, our condolences goes to them. Gabe Anderson, notable for being the first Ndakene to reach the semifinals in the Electrum Slam II, spoke on his comeback this season from reconstruction during a press conference with NdakuSports as he spoke: "I'm truly excited for this season. Tennis has always been my passion since the first time I picked up my racquet when I was 8 years old. I knew I could do some awesome things with it; my parents and the rest of my family knew as well. Despite their passage, I'm grateful that I was given the time to reflect on how they've shaped me to a strong, confident, and God-fearing man. I'm also grateful for having my family and knowing where I came from, because without that, I would have been a much less established person. I've played on grass courts before, and it's truly an honor to be able to play."

Gabe Anderson during the Electrum Slam II

During reconstruction, much of the Ndakene players had Madesene nationalities, from the former nation of Madesu. Madesu became a Ndakene province during this time, thus all Madesene players became Ndakenes, for the sake of national and human identity.

Gabe Anderson, Martin Bond, and Rafferty Henri are all automatically qualifiers for the main draw, as Anderson stands as number 8 seed, Bond being number 15 seed, and Henri number 17 seed.

New faces of professional tennis have emerged from junior and challenger level tennis; 19 year old Marianita Cross, 22 year old Dani Mateus, and 18 year old Jeanna Hakim. Aspiring grand slam champions, their main source of inspiration were Cenian Elaine Foyner and the three top Ndakene men players, Anderson, Bond, and Henri. Draws have been announced, and for the first Preliminary Group stage matches, Dani Mateus will take on fellow Britonish Master Larry, Jeanna Hakim will take on Musa Kalu from Banija, and Maritiana Cross will take on fellow Cenian Louis Amada.

Moving onto the other side of tournament are doubles players, where Ndakene Glenn Benoit and Drummond Hamilton, seeded as number 9, will automatically be placed in the main draws. Making their name known in challenger tournaments, these doubles besties Adelaide Frost and Karissa Macy are in hopes of reaching the world number 1 position very soon. Rafferty Henri doubled up on his time in San Salvador as he is to play mixed doubles with Karissa Macy. Adelaide Frost/Karissa Macy are to play Ran Tartu/Engelinien Kei from Finmi, while Rafferty Henri/Karissa Macy are to take on Mackenzie Kilian/Zach Stahl from Drawkland.

This grass court season will be very competitive, and competitive equals lots of hot tennis! Be sure to check out NdakuSports Channel for live coverage of the Preliminary Rounds!

It was strange that whenever Cathy Kruminš found herself in need of a little soul searching she ended up back here. Behind her, concealed from view by a tall holly hedgerow, she could hear the village church bells ringing, as she stared out over the straights of Inchgarvey, the waves breaking gently over white sand beach. Even in August there was still a low haar, which rolled in off The Silent Sea, settling around the streets, and the gardens of Saint-Dos until well into the late morning. In the winter it could make it seem like a damp and dreary place, but in the summer it was different somehow, giving the village an almost mystical otherworldly glow. On the coastline around Saint-Dos there were no sand dunes, no gradual change in the landscape as you approached the tide line. It seemed to come upon you all of a sudden; the roar of the waves the only warning you got before the sea opened up in front of you. Cathy sat on the rusting old iron bench that stood behind the grave yard; the same dog-eared paperback lay beside her, she was still no further through it that she was on her way back from Eura. At high tide, during certain times of the year, the sea lapped up frighteningly close to the foot of the bench; but this was summer, only mid-morning, and as a result Cathy's feet were safely dry.

After the high of Ceni, and reaching the latter stages of the Cenial and Cenian Opens, she had been brought back down to earth with a bump in Electrum. She was the 16th seed and yet she had crashed out to Peter O'Lodge in the first round, a guy she had never even seen play before. Maybe that had been the problem. She should have been focusing on each match as it came, rather than letting herself get swept up in a hype about how she was going to beat the Cenians and lift the title. She had allowed herself to start believing the crap the news papers were saying about her. It was difficult to know what to do, to move forward from here now. At seventeen she just didn't have the experience to create the right kind of mental attitude. Since that five sets defeat to Ellela Thotan in Ceni, she had just completely lost the plot. She was the 25th ranked player in the world - an NSTT semi-finalist - yet somehow, right now, she had never felt less important. Her game utterly collapsing in the heat, losing five games in a row to go out of a grand slam after battling so hard from two sets to love down; it was soul-destroying.

She didn't know what she hoped to achieve sitting here, but somehow it was important to her to take a little time out - to come back to Schottia, and try to re-find what she had in the first place. The next tournament in the calendar was in San José Guayabal, a tier two event called The San Salvador Open. This was where the fight back would begin. On Grass. Yes grass, of all the surfaces. The one Cathy had barely competed on, and the one she had practiced on least. She had a good serve, and that would stand her in good stead. However, coming from a clay background, she was not used to the low bounce, nor was she much accustomed to coming into the net. Normally when she was back home she would step out on the village tennis club courts, have a bit of a practice with her father, or one of the club's members. But she wasn't going near them this week, not a chance that she was going to let anything like that hinder her preparations. They were into the grass court season now, and if Cathy were going pick up anything on this surface, then she needed start preparing, and it started now. She had usually avoided grass court tournaments in the juniors, purely down to her inability to practice. Of course there was the Schottic Tennis Centre in Handon, but they'd always been strangely protective about their courts, and Cathy didn't have much of a stomach for a fight - she wasn't the kind to dig her heels in. The goal was going to be getting herself up to speed for Emberton, giving herself a fighting chance. On the way there were the Kannapian open, and the New Oxford masters so still plenty of ranking points available.

Cathy pulled herself to her feet, adjusting her shorts before removing her sunglasses from her canvas satchel. The northern sun was now getting up, burning through the mist to reveal the silhouette of the Inchgarven Mountains, looming over her from across the narrow sea. It was going to be another beautiful day, and the red clay of the Saint-Dos tennis club would soon receive the feet of dozens of players making the most of the good weather; but not Cathy. She would be getting the train to Soessch, then on to Handon, from where she would get the flight to Esportiva. She shoved her book back inside her satchel and headed back across the long dew soaked grass to find the hard gravel path leading back round to the main street. The bells had now stopped, leaving only the regular ambience of the sea as a background noise. It was time to exorcise some of those daemons from Centralis.

Olympian Watch: Musa Kalu & Muhammad Tambo set to play in last tournament before the Olympics

Musa Kalu warms up before his Round of 16 match at the Centralis Open

SAN SALVADOR- The Olympic Association wanted to get Banija's tennis athletes some exposure before they entered the Olympic Games. That is why they played in the Centralis Open, where they could get some great exposure in front of some of the world's best tennis athletes. Both Musa Kalu and Muhammad Tambo qualified for the tournament proper at individuals, though Kalu was an automatic qualifier, and Musa Kalu had an amazingly deep run into the tournament, reaching the last 16 of the Centralis Open. Muhammad Tambo participated in qualifiers and got to the 2nd round of the tournament, and all in all both represented themselves and their country extremely well at that tournament.

Of course, both are Olympians as individuals, and both are Olympians as a pair. The undisputed top two players in the country, and the undisputed top doubles pair in the country, both are going through their last warm-ups both the Summer Olympics themselves actually begin. Both are Olympians in their own right and as a pair, and this is their last event before the Aeropag games themselves begin. While the San Salvador Open is not as big as a tournament as the Centralis Open, it is only one step down, and both Tambo and Kalu want to improve their standing in the world tennis rankings, as they, as well as Bakhara Hali, will both be playing full time on the international circuit.

In the preliminary round of this tournament, Muhammad Tambo will be playing against Sarah Dinsdale. We do not know much about Sarah Dinsdale, but this is a true do-or-die situation. There is no group stage, there is no opportunity for recovery. If he beats Dinsdale tomorrow, he will qualify for the San Salvador Open. If he does not beat Dinsdale tomorrow, then he will be sent home packing early, not having some of the world's best competition to prep with as he preps for the Olympics. Tambo will look to utilize a strength advantage, as his frame is 6'4, and will probably try to power his way past Sarah Dinsdale.

Musa Kalu will also be drawn against somebody of the opposite sex, as he will be playign Jeanna Hakim. This is not something Banijans are used to, as co-ed sports in this country are actually banned on taking place on Banijan soil, though there is an exception written in there when Banija hosts international teams or international tournaments. Musa Kalu is the slight favorite here, as he advanced to the Round of 16 at the Centralis Open, and will be hoping to make another deep run into this tournament as well. First, of course, he has to qualify for the tournament proper, and the way for him to do that will be playing against, and defeating, Jeanna Hakim.

Of course Bakhara Hali will be here as well. She will be playing against Minto Jokin for a spot in the San Salvador Open. She is a woman who is focused on vengenace. She went 0-3 in the Centralis Open qualifiers, a performance so embarrassing that she lost her Olympic spot as Banija's woman champion. While that spot is not coming back, her motivation must be through the roof to prove that she can compete with some of the world's best. She did not prove that in Centralis, and she has a unique opportunity to prove that here. Of course, that means her matchup with Minto Jokin is a must-win, but we'll see if she can manage to qualify for the round of 64 in San Salvador.

Lastly, of course, we have the doubles pairing of Musa Kalu & Muhammad Tambo, who also did extremely poorly in Centralis, despite both of their excellent individual performances. Some say that the fatigue was too much, to be playing both singles and doubles, and that's why, but the pairing has stayed the same, and the pairing is final for the Summer Olympics. Of course, they are playing a team with a soldier, but they will look to do better here than they did in Centralis. Maybe the fact that they have less games here will help with the fatigue problem, but failing to qualify once again for a major tournament will bring up the red flags all over the country.

Ultimately, all 4 of these players have a lot riding on this tournament, though interestingly enough, it is the tournament's only non-Olympian, Bakhara Hali, who has the most riding on this tournament, and that is because of her status as a non-Olympian. If she managed to outperform all the other 3, it would be an extremely embarrassing performance for them. The pressure is on Musa Kalu to perform as well, as he doesn't want his run at the Centralis Open to be a fluke, or a 'one-hit wonder'. The player with the least pressure is probably Tambo. His Olympic spot secure, he just needs to put in a good performance- lose a close one, and he'll be fine. But if Kalu or Hali lose a close one, then they will be in some serious trouble.

San Salvador Slam Preliminary Preview for the Kingdom of Judea

Hadar ben Ofer VS Adrian Salfi (FIN)

Hadar ben Ofer once again steps onto the international stage in the hopes of showing just what the Judeans are capable of when it comes to tennis. During the Electrum Slam earlier this year, he teamed up with Anat ben Yonah and made it all the way to the Round of Sixteen before failing against the hometown team of Sonya Gredelo and Rosa Levinsky. Because of their performance there, the pair are bypassing the preliminaries. On the other hand, Hadar did not perform so well on his own in the singles competition, being eliminated in the first round by Ciache Nagya of Ceni (who went on to win the singles tournament so no shame in losing there). Hadar now faces Adrian Salfi, a player from Finmi even newer on the scene than Hadar.

Simcha bat Dor VS Lara Basič (MTJ)

Simcha bat Dor progressed further than any other Judean in the singles tournament at Electrum Slam III, falling in the Round of 32 to Hunter Roberts. She’s back in force to try to go further than she did in Centralis. For her that starts with a match against Lara Basič from Mattijana who is appearing in her first NSTT competition.

Yves Whitz (QAD) VS Gilad ben Yehudah

Gilad ben Yehudah has arrived in San Salvador for his first professional appearance since the Electrum Slam. While others have engaged in a few showcase events back in Jerusalem, Gilad has been on a honeymoon with his new wife, Shani bat Dor, to whom he proposed in quite a visible manner at the Electrum Slam. Back from their honeymoon in the Duchy of Cyprus, Shani is ready to cheer on Gilad as he takes on Yvez Whitz of Qasden.

Eika Urilia (FIN) VS Livnat bat Avram

Wildcarded past the qualifiers in Centralis, Livnat bat Avram only made it to the Round of 64 at the Electrum Slam III. Still, she has shown to be a very powerful player and much is expected of her from the Judean team, as well as her classmates at the Royal University in Jerusalem. She isn’t so lucky as to be able to bypass the preliminaries in San Salvador, and so she will have to face Eika Urilia from Finmi before proceeding.

Ofra bat Dakel VS Ofir bat Paz

By some cruel twist of fate, these two Judean players will have to face each other before one of them proceeds. Ofra bat Dakel, the team mother, is one of the older members of the team and is known to treat them like they are here children. Ofir bat Paz is one of the younger players on the team and very aggressive. These two promise, if nothing else, a very fun match to watch.

Livnat bat Avram/Arieh ben Daniyyel VS Martin Shearman/Lian Morgan (VKL)

Livnat and Aireh have been playing together ever since they teamed up at RUJ. They work together fluidly as one of the top pairs in Judea. They are back to prove themselves once more in an international tennis event. They’ll be facing Martin Shearman and Lian Morgan from Vakolicci Haven in the preliminaries.

Ravid ben Yehoshua/Ofir bat Paz VS Yves Whitz/Franklin Polymar (QAD)

Pretty boy Ravid ben Yehoshua and aggressive Ofir bat Paz are once again contesting international tennis and are hoping to prove themselves in San Salvador. True to form, Judean tabloids are reporting Ravid has already found some local Guayabalense girls to spend his time off the court with. If he can keep his focus on tennis when he gets on the court, this fierce pair will be one to watch. They will be starting with Yves Whitz and Franklin Polymar of Qasden.

Intrigue as NSTT returns to San Jose Guayabal after hiatus

NSTT is about to return to one of the nations where it all began, San Jose Guayabal! Of course, tennis historians are aware that prior to the ATP and NSTT, there were a loose string of unconnected tennis tournaments, with one of those tournaments being held in San Jose Guayabal. That aside, there is a lot more intrigue with this tournament.

Firstly, the NSTT has tentatively upgraded the tournament to a Tier 1, just because of the fact that too many nations and players have expressed an interest in playing. Considering that the event was designated as a Tier 2 event, the Electrumite Lawn Tennis Association only sent its development players, and not their top players, and other federations did the same too, including Ceni. With the retrospective upgrade, not only is the bracket more open, with several top players not playing, but there are also more points up for grabs, meaning serious uplift in the rankings can be gained.

Instead of the traditional 32/48 player bracket, it has allowed the tournament to get a 64 player bracket, however this is not enough to meet the demand of nations and players in this contest. This means that the tournament organisers have eschewed the traditional round robin format for a one-off quickfire qualification round, akin to the one used in TOCAO last time. This brings with it a large amount of risk and upset -- there are no second chances here, and if players are not fit on the day, then their chances are already over before it has begun. High stakes, high reward. With Brown and Cassington already in the main draw, Smith, Simmons, Zhuo and Giannapolous will be going through this preliminary round.

Deanne Smith faces off against Toan Wu Nguyen, Sara Zhuo against Krytenian Stuart Riley, Britonisean Jason Gordon against Andrew Simmons and Gelder Liam Penderyn faces off against Pelissa Giannopolous. Out of all of those draws, it seems that Smith has the favourable draw, drawing the relatively newer tennis-wise West Phoenican, whereas the other three players are all journeymen, having played on the NSTT before. Of all of those, Simmons vs Gordon seems to be the most appealing match-up to watch: the two are next to each other seeding wise, and they both have fantastic and potent serves. It will come down to the important points, especially on break points, and as I mentioned before, there really is no room for error. Penderyn and Giannopolous are separated by one player seeding-wise, so that will be a cracker too: two different play styles at play here. Regardless, it is unfortunate that the Electrumites haven't been given an easier draw, say, by facing one of the debuting nations!

The fourth intrigue of this tournament is the start of the grass court swing. We are on the road to the grass court slam, the Krytenian TOCAO. The transition from the intermediate-speed hard courts of the Electrum Slam to the very fast grass courts. Quick and easy points are more easy to come by with serves flying everywhere, and volleying is definitely reward on the grass. It is time to get rid of those very long rallies found in Electrum in favour for the more faster paced, energetic tennis to come. It is more demanding physically to run up and volley rather than standing back on the base line and just returning the ball, hoping for a mistake to come. Will the players of the NSTT handle the transition from hard to grass well?

The fifth and final intrigue is that this is the last tournament before the Olympics. Granted, most of Electrum's players are currently resting, as this was advertised as a Tier 2 event, but regardless, there are still some Electrumites who will be playing back-to-back tournaments. Basically, all of Electrum's entrants in this tournament will also be in the Olympics in some form. It's going to be a tiring few weeks for them -- let's just hope they don't succumb to injury here, which will see them have a deleterious impact in the Olympics. As we all know, conservative play does not win tennis matches, so there's a fine balancing act in knowing when to push, and avoiding injury from said pushes.

It's looking more and more like this tournament will be an interesting one, despite it not looking so on the surface.

Coffee

I tell him I'll have some coffee,
That great social equalizer,
Something that everyone can drink,
Rich or poor, young or old -
But only half a glass, please,
Because if I have too much
I won't get to sleep until midnight,
Pondering the mysteries of human existence
He lets me in on a secret - it's decaf
In that case, I'll take an entire glass then
Because why not?
There's no harm in drinking it now, but only
With copious amounts of sugar and cream.

Poetry

Where can you write a poem?
Anywhere, anytime, or
Just one place that gives you
Just the right feeling?
Or can you write a poem on a napkin
Waiting in line for food?
What can you write about?
Just write about what you know,
What you feel, what you talk about
Because, after all, the spoken word
Has always existed, and only
Later do we think to write them down on paper.
That feeling that you get when
You can't think of something
Vexes you - yet there are always things
To write about
After all, though, the job of a poet
Is to put words on paper and hope
That everyone thinks that you
Know what you're doing.

by **West Phoencia** » Fri Jul 29, 2016 2:47 am

West Phoenicia has entered their current high profile Silver class tennis players to take part in The San Salvador Open. While the gold class will be setting off to play at the Olympics.
The Current line up is as below. But it has been stated by Head Coach Lleyton Pickles that after the open and the Olympic Games a reshuffle will be taking place between both lots of players.

The West Phoenician Government Sports Council will be allocating additional funding. 5 new stadiums will be built across The Confederate Kingdom of West Phoenicia and new rules will be put in place where Tennis Singles will no longer be used for doubles also.
The Singles Tournament is a strain on these fine men and women. But one cannot serve 2 masters. By creating a specialist diverse Doubles Squad it will hopefully improve the overall performance of the Tennis Singles players.

Singles
1. Con Towers
2. Toan Wu Nguyen
3. Fi Richardson:
4. Renee Richardson:
5. Staci Harris:
6. Tariq Salmat:

Doubles
1.Con Towers/Toan Wu Nguyen
2 . Renee Richardson/ Fi Richardson
3. Tariq Salmat/Staci Harris

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of the Preliminaries. ...

Singles

* The Good

- Tariq Salmat smashed María Sierra (SJG) in two sets (6- 3,6- 2)

- Renee Richardson beat out Fia Meini (FIN) (6-1,6-4)

-Toan Wu Nguyen beat out Deanne Smith (ETM) (6-5, 5-7,10-8)

* The Bad
- Fi Richardson lost to Jessica Moreaux (KRY)(6-7, 6-4, 1-6)

*The Ugly

- Fi Richardson was giving a warning from the umpire for stalling between serves. When confronted she verbally assaulted the umpire telling her "Eat another cheeseburger tubby. Cause your eyes must have been on a burger not the ace from Moreaux, that was clearly out"

- Con Towers was defeated by his own team mate and current girlfriend Staci Harris( 4 -3, 6 -6)

Outcome:

4 of the 6 West Phoenician Single players have moved on to the next round.

Doubles

Sister Act:
Sisters Fi Richardson/Renee Richardson beat out Marco Ramirez/Margarita Landin (SJG)( 6-0, 6-0)

Keep a watch out for the next few tournaments as their youngest sister Katherine will also be taking on the tennis circuit.Rumours are already flying around West Phoencia that Renee plans to stick to the Tennis doubles circuit and recruiting her youngest sister as her team mate. It appears there is no great love lost between Renee and Fiona.

Con Towers/Toan Wu Nguyen beat out Jaguar Zenteanite/Zeke Newham (BRI)in two sets (6-0, 6-0)

They came to play and they came to win. They succeeded in both keeping the game professional unlike some of their team mates.

Tariq Salmat/Staci Harris lost to Julian Slazic/Lara Basic of Mattijanan in 2 sets (0-6,0-6).

The match had people chuckling from the audience as the duo spent half the match abusing each other rather than abusing the ball aimed in their direction. Lucky for them that both had progressed in the singles.

Outcome

2 out of the 3 doubles teams will proceed it the tournament.

PAPUTIAN SPORTS GAZETTE

POSITIVE START FOR PAPUTIANS IN THE SAN SALVADOR OPEN
On the eve of the Olympic Games a good part of paputian tennis players took part in the San Salvador Open. The first elimination round saw good results for tennis players of Paputu. Maluwatanore, O'Lodge, Winnpeg and Matten have passed the first round easily, while Alan Gornet had to give way to his opponent Del Rio losing after the third set. A negative surprise undoubtedly was the elimination of Manuel Leeroy. The strongest tennis player of Paputu, after winning in the tie-break in the first set, collapsed in the subsequent two, suffering elimination scorching and that does not bode well for the Olympics. The next rounds will be very interesting, Maluwatanore appears in great form, but also O'Lodge continues to surprise with better than expected results.

"It Could Have Been Worse"

Things weren't looking so great early on at the San Salvador Open in San Jose Guayabal, but things began to swing back in favour of Mattijanan players and by the end if the day, most were fairly satisfied with the day's play.

Lara Basič was the first player to take an early exit, albeit perhaps with the Olympics in mind. She lost in straight sets to Simcha bat Dor from Judah and despite some nice play at times, she was largely outplayed by her big-hitting and physically imposing opponent. The final score was a comfortable 6-3, 6-1.

Alex Dimitrov, another Olympic player was the next to fall, but at least took his tie to a third set after a gutsy second set where he managed to outplay, outmuscle and outrun his opponent on the way to a 6-2 win. Some of the errors that were characteristic of his slow start in the first set returned early in the third and by the time he had recovered, he was 3-0 down. He tried to find the breaks back, but great defence from his local opponent, Juan Riquelme, meant he was unable to find it. The final score was 2-6, 6-2, 2-6.

Mattijanan number 1 was also knocked out, this time by Jill Clarke from New Gelderland. He has his sights firmly set on the Olympics, but will be dissapointed to he out this early, particularly after a comfortable first set win in which he looked well on top. Clarke fought back superbly however, changing her game plan and forcing errors, particularly on the backhand side. These remained in the third set and Clarke finally broke to take a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory.

Aljaž Ćorluka finally grabbed a victory for Mattijana after a miserable morning as he beat Andrew Baumgartner of Krytenia in three sets. After a strong peeformance when it mattered in the first set tie-break, he was unable to take any if his 5 second set break points and was punished for it as he was edged out in another tie break. The third set was better however as Ćorluka broke his opponent with an exquisite drop-volley to move 4-2 up and then took the match with a comfortable service game.

Mattias Burges also managed to progress late in the day, beating Jun Deng in three sets. Things weren't looking good for another Mattijanan Olympic hope in the first set as a slip at the back of a slightly damp court in which he appeared to injure his ankle reduced mobility and caused him to lose the set 6-1. He battled back well in the second though, fighting through the pain which perhaps distracted his opponent on the way to a 6-2 win. The third was tighter with Deng getting a grip on his mental attitude, but Burges looked like he had got over the worst of the fall and proved the fitter player winning 1-6, 6-2, 7-5.

Mattijanan doubles players were also increasingly succesful. After the less specialised Burges and Dimitrov were thrashed by Krytenians Michael Legrand and Juan Ortiz (although three set singles matches soon before may have played a part), Dominika Lisicki and Rikard Kampl restored the national pride and the mood with a 6-4 first set win. They were pegged back to one set all however after a tight tie-break went the wrong way. They dominant in the third set though, letting just one game slip through. The final score was 6-4, 6-7, 6-1.

Julian Slazić and Lara Basič were the final two Mattijanan players in action in the preliminary round and didn't spend long on court at all as they avenged the double bagel of Dimitrov and Burges with an equally relentless performance against newcomers Tariq Salmat and Staci Hareis. The duo were on top in all aspects of the match and frustrated their opponents to such an extent that they began to argue between themselves as to whose fault it was. That didn't matter, what did was the result: 6-0, 6-0.

Back in San Jose Guayabal! But with strange results...

Open: San Salvador Open, San Jose Guayabal
Time: 13:40 Britonish Time

Singles

Remember the Month Championships? Remember it all? One of the few birth places of the modern tennis structure? Stop remembering it, as those were the glorious days Britonisea was once dominant - or one of the dominant ones- at Tennis. We are finally back in San Jose Guayabal to witness the last event before the Olympic Games is underway. Some hopefuls are hoping to go to the Olympics in Great style, while it seemed others couldn't give a toss.
Ricardo Toli (BRI)                   6   6   4
Christian Landín (SJG)               1   7   6
When Ricardo Toli last participated in San Jose Guayabal under Bryonie Islands the same thing happened there which happened here. The similarities are almost uncanny, and it seems as if Ricardo either doesn't like the country, or the country doesn't like Ricardo. Ricardo Toli, favourite to win, won the first set very easily. In the second set, Christian was host on the tale of Ricardo and in the end, Christian won the second set, thanks to a tiebraker. The last, and final set, was the most crucial and it seemed like everytime Christian would win a game, Ricardo would lose hope and lose the honour of playing here. At least, this will give him the time to practise ahead of the Olympic Games, in Aeropag.
Master Larry (BRI)                   5   6
Dani Mateus (NDA)                    7   7
Another strange result here too. Master Larry, brother of Peter P Larry who was once 4th in the singles and an all-round Racquet guy, was defeated by an Ndakene player who we've never heard of before. Dani Mateus, beat Master Larry in straight sets - with Dani beating him with a tiebreaker in the second. Seeing Master Larry, after a relatively successful tennis career desintergrate in the pre-lim is distressing and we hope he is in great for the Olympic Games, where he plays with his retired brother Peter in the Men's Doubles.
Derek Dubrovnik (BRI)                6   7
Sijie Liu (LQN)                      3   5
This came as no surprise as Derek Dubrovnik, a Britonish player who came from no-where to somewhere in only one game, won this match in two straight sets. This is good for Derek and it shows that he has the strength to do well in the upcoming matches that he has. Unfortunately, Derek did not qualifying for the Britonish team at the Olympics, and hopefully, he can take that anger out on how he plays in this open. It could see him winning tournaments who wouldn't have ever of thought of winning.
Jason Gordon (BRI)                   6   4   6
Andrew Simmons (ETM)                 0   6   3
Jason Gordon is the only person who had to go through the qualification process, got through and is also representing Britonisea in the Olympics. Jason Gordon, despite his low ranking, is one of the best Britonish tennis players we have on the team and it's very special that with this pressure (of the Olympics), he can still come to this open, and treat it as if this was the Olympics - as if this was the real thing. The match was high and energetic, with Jason winning the first set 6-0 to a familiar Andrew Simmons of Electrum. Andrew came back in the second winning an okay 6-4, but Jason didn't want to follow his other Olympian team mates. Taking the challenge, he made sure Andrew tired himself out before he leaped on him like a jaguar, and that's what he did. We are hoping to see a lot of that in the Olympic Games in the next couple of weeks.

Leo Garry has already qualified for the next round.

Doubles
Jaguar Zenteanite/Zeke Newham (BRI)               0   0
Con Towers/Toan Wu Nguyen (KWP)                   6   6
This result is truly appalling. Judging how Jaguar and Zeke were ranked one of the highest going in to this qualification process, this result is very embarrassing, and it shows why they didn't qualify for the Olympics. Throughout, they made very silly mistakes only an amateur can make, including hitting themselves on the court and laughing together. The Britonish Tennis Association is to speak to Jaguar and Zeke about there un-Britonish ways of acting on court, which could see them having a ban from tennis until after the International Tennis Cup.

Leo Garry/Elizabeth Quehall and Lance Mance/Ricardo Toli has already qualified for next round.

Ndakene Qualifiers Gain Some Ground

SAN SALVADOR - The grass season kicked off today when Ndakene hopefuls took the opportunity to prove their worth.

It all began with 22 year old Dani Mateus taking on fellow Britonish Master Larry in straight surprising sets. Larry broke Mateus early on in the first set with a 2-love lead, and Mateus overcame her nerves to break back. Mateus then went for a serve and volley type of play to avoid further unforced errors as those were part of the reason why she lost her serve early on, and her play proved to keep her up in the match. At 5-all, Larry serving, it was a matter of forcing an error from him as she attacked the Britonisean's second serves; eventually the scoreboard displayed love-40. Mateus then broke Larry's serve after a 1-2 ground stroke with a chance to serve for the set. Eventually, Mateus was up one set with 7-5. The second set was the tightest and most even set of the match as the Ndakene rookie and the Britonish veteran kept hold of their service games consistently until they found themselves in a grueling second set tie-break. An unforced error from the veteran allowed the Ndakene a mini-break. It seemed that the pressure was too much for Larry to bare as Mateus was eventually serving for 5 match points. A delivered ace from Mateus would earn her a 7-5, 7-6 win over the Britonish veteran.

Rafferty Henri and Karissa Macy during Friday's Match

18 year old Jeanna Hakim took on Musa Kalu of Banija in a very entertaining 3 sets. Hakim and Kalu started off very well keeping hold of their service games, then at 3-all, a few unforced errors would give a break for Hakim to take advantage of a lead. Hakim's moderate but consistent service games would get her to win the first set 6-3, finishing with an impressive 89% 1st serves won. Kalu came back in the second set with a more aggressive approach which allowed him to break Hakim three times in order to win 6-1. The Banijan and the Ndakene fought a good fight in the third, keeping up with their serves very well. At 5-all, however, a few doubles faults from Kalu allowed Hakim to break and serve for the match, and she did so finishing a 6-3, 6-7, 7-5 victory.

Ndakene teenage lefty Maritiana Cross took on fellow Cenian Louis Amada in straight sets today. Amada and Cross both had very consistent serving the first four games; on the fourth game, Amada serving, Cross was determined to aply pressure on the Cenian's serve in order to force herself through with a break. After 2 straight return winners attacking the second serve, Cross finished the game after a 22 long rally with a drop shot, eventually enabling her to claim the set. In the second set Amada was determined to keep hold of his service game and break, as well as Cross. Both players demonstrated high quality tennis as they eventually found themselves in a second set tie-break. A couple of serve-and-volley and return-and-volley type of plays from Cross enabled her to get 3 straight mini-breaks giving her a 6-0 lead; eventually Cross marched to victory with a 6-4, 7-6 win over the Cenian.

On the doubles side Ndakene hopefuls Adelaide Frost and Karissa Macy took on Ran Tartu and Engelinien Kei of Finmi on an exacting three setter. The Ndakene doubles duo started off very well emphasizing aggression as they were able to break twice in order to claim a 6-2 first set. The Finmians came back in the second set and returned the aggression, showing a sign of now turning down. Breaking the Ndakene duo twice, the Finmians eventually claimed a 6-2 second set. Early in the third set, the Ndakenes claimed a break and were determined to maintain the aggression and power-play needed to finish the match, and through teamwork and service consistency the Ndakenes were able to claim a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 victory.

Ndakene tennis star Rafferty Henri took on Drawkian duo Mackenzie Kilian and Zach Stahl with fellow doubles specialist Karissa Macy. The Ndakene duo showed absolutely no mercy or relent in their play, as they maintained not only a consistent service throughout the match, but were able to generate several impressive volley winners. By maintaining consistency and aggression, the Ndakenes pulled off a 6-0, 6-0 win against the Drawkians in 43 minutes.

Much more action coming up in San Salvador! Don't miss out and be sure to tune in!

Sports special - San Salvador Open.

Schottic number six Adam Gory is through to the next phase of qualifying, with a comfortable win over Vakoliccian, Martin Shearman. The nineteen year old joins countrymen Luke Pool, Catherine Kruminš, Eliza Reusmann, Jill Walker, and John Muir in the draw for the group phase of the San Salvador Open.

In a match where the South Schottian seemed to always have the edge over his opponent, Gory was never sorely tested, wining in straight sets in just over an hour hand a half. Despite six break points in the opening set, it was the final game before Gory was able to get the upper hand over his opponent. The Schottian went from 30-0 down winning three points in a row to open up a first set point. After being taken back to deuce Gory dug deep, clinching the first set with a powerful passing shot from just inside the base line. Gory has trained a lot on grass, spending several months at the Schottic Tennis Centre in Handon during his time as a junior. This much was evident to see in the way he approached the match early on, with no difficulties in holding serve. His second serve has often been an element of the young player's game which has caused him problems, but he seemed to have no such issues here.

Gory went into the second set full of confidence, and after holding his fist service game to love, went on to break his opponent. Unforced errors were to prove Shearman's undoing in this match, and only he will know how he found the net with the court wide open at 30-30. Learning from his mistakes in the first set, Gory didn't pass up the chance of an early break, and he took full advantage of a Shearman second serve, finding the line with a carefully timed backhand volley. The single break was to prove enough in this set, sending the Schottian through comfortably, 7-5 6-3, in a match where the teenager served up eight aces. Gory will now go on to face Gabe Anderson, Ofir bat Paz, and Sarah Maluwatanore in Group Eight.

"I feel I have a good game for grass." Said the player ranked 87th in the world. "I have a good serve, and I've played a lot of doubles at junior level so I'm pretty good in at the net. I've been to the first round in Bastion and in Ceni, and the second round in Centralis, so I'm feeling confident I can strike on from here." Gory went on to add. "Making it into the top 100 for the first time has been really good for my confidence. I've always, up until now seen myself as a bit of an underdog, the kind of person who is always on the peripheries, but hopefully that can now change a bit."

All Schottic eyes, however, will be on Catherine Kruminš and Luke Pool, the fifth and sixth seeds for this tournament. Both players are seeking their first NSTT title, and for Kruminš in particular, she will be desperate to get over the disappointment in Electrum, which saw her crash out in the first round. The 17-year-old has been drawn in a group with countrywoman Eliza Reusman, Jeanna Hakim, and very dangerous Stephen Perez of Krytania. While the North Islander will be favourite to top the group, there is no doubting the fact that this is a tricky line up, and she will need to be on her toes. Luke Pool on the other hand, must know that time is running out if he is going to pick up that elusive title. The 31-year-old has been in the form his career so far this year, and there is a feeling that it is now or never for the long time Schottic number one. The player, who was reportedly contemplating retirement at the start of the season, has since gone on to reach the latter stages in Ceni, Electurm, and New Gelderland.

The Preliminaries at the San Salvador Open have ended and it’s time to look at the results, starting with the singles matches.

Hadar ben Ofer vs Adrian Salfi (FIN)

A well played match between ben Ofer and his Finmian opponent, but as new as ben Ofer is to international tennis, Salfi is obviously newer. Initially ben Ofer and Salfi went game for game in the first set but Salfi seemed to almost run out of steam and just never recovered. A double fault in the first game of the second set made clear that Salfi was hurting and would not be back to full form. What happened to the Finmian player remains a mystery, but what is certain is that ben Ofer has shown how dominant he can be with his 6-3 and 6-1 wins. He moves on to the group stage in Group 15 where he will face a far tougher opposition in Noah Damaris of Ceni, Carmichael Brown of Electrum and Paul Chinra of Tobiasia.

Simcha bat Dor vs Lara Basič (MTJ)

Another demonstration of just how powerful Judean tennis players can be, Simcha bat Dor took an early lead in her match against Lara Basič of Mattijana and never let it go. Bat Dor took the first two games with ease, though Basič rallied in the third. The next three went to bat Dor, then two for Basič before bat Dor finished off the set with an ace. During the second set, the first game went to Basič but bat Dor battled back to take six straight games to win the set and the match. She moves on to Group 12 where she will face Dani Mateus and Rafferty Henri of Ndaku and Staci Harris of West Phoenicia.

Yves Whitz (QAD) vs Gilad ben Yehudah

With his wife there to cheer for him the entire time, Gilad ben Yehudah delivered straight sets over Yves Whitz of Qasen. Whitz proved a far more even match for ben Yehudah than other opponents for Judean players earlier that day. With a 6-4 and 6-2 win over Whitz, Gilad has shown that though he may not have been practicing much tennis in the since Centralis, he will still be a force to be reckoned with. He moves on to Group 4 with Anna Skevich of Drawkland, Ana Winnpeg of Paputu and Dioro Hansil of Ceni

Eika Urilia (FIN) vs Livnat bat Avram

Livnat bat Avram will not be progressing further in the San Salvador Open after falling short against Eika Urilia of Finmi. Urilia proved too much for the young bat Avram in back to back sets. Though bat Avram took the lead initially with two games, the following games went decidedly more in Urilia’s favor. With a heartbreaking 6-4 and 6-1 finish, Livnat has resigned herself to waiting for the next tournament until she can again demonstrate just how good she can really be.

Ofra bat Dekel vs Ofir bat Paz

In a reversal of the adage that age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill, Ofra bat Dekel has fallen to the younger Ofir bat Paz in one of the most tightly contested matches of the Preliminaries. The older woman took the first set 6-3, and the second looked like it was going to be a repeat as bat Dekel took the first two games of the second set only to face a rally by bat Paz. The second set ended 6-3 going the other way. The final set ended with bat Paz winning 6-4 in this exciting match in the opening days of the San Salvador Opern. Ofir bat Paz will face Sarah Maluwatanore of Paputu, Gabe Anderson of Ndaku and Adam Gory of Schottia. Now let’s move onto the doubles.

Livnat bat Avram/Arieh ben Daniyyel vs Martin Shearman/Lian Morgan (VKL) and Ravid ben Yehoshua/Ofir bat Paz vs Yves Whitz/Franklin Polymar (QAD)

There really is nothing to be said about these matches as like many others the Judean teams went down without taking a single game. In the sixteen matches of the Doubles Preliminary, ten teams lost in straight 6-0 sets. These unprecedented results are made further curious by the fact that many of these teams were playing at a level so far below what they are typically capable of. Some have called for an investigation into the results, given their baffling nature, though this seems unlikely at this time. Anat ben Yonah and Hadar ben Ofer, the Judean team that went further than any other at the Electrum Slam, will be the only Judeans in the doubles tournament, playing against pairs from New Gelderland, Ndaku and Ceni in Group 2.

Gilad ben Yehudah vs Dioro Hansil (CEN)

Fresh off his dominating win against Yves Whitz, Gilad ben Yehudah was delivered a serving of humility by Dioro Hansil of Ceni. No great surprise there considering Hansil is the eleventh ranked player, but disappointing all the same. Hansil absolutely dominated the first set, taking two games without a single point for ben Yehudah. He managed to rally during the second set but to now avail. This match goes to Hansil 6-3 6-1.

Ofir bat Paz vs Gabe Anderson (NDA)

Another disappointment for the Judean team, Gabe Anderson of Ndaku took straight sets over Ofir bat Paz. Anderson, who holds an NSTT ranking of 32, pushed bat Paz hard through both sets and holding a definite edge over the younger player. Ofir bat Paz was no pushover however, and trapped Anderson in several deuce series. Her efforts, however, were to no avail as Anderson took the match 6-2 6-3.

Staci Harris (KWP) vs Simcha bat Dor

Simcha bat Dor is Judea’s highest NSTT ranked player, and when she went up against Staci Harris she demonstrated why. Harris took the first tightly contested set with the most narrow of victories, and bat Dor responded by beginning a fierce and fast play against Harris that utterly dominated the second set. The fierce play took a small toll on bat Dor, who wasn’t moving quite as well for the third set but still more than good enough to win the match with a record of 6-7 6-1 6-3.

Noah Demaris (CEN) vs Hadar ben Ofer

Hadar ben Ofer was the second Judean player to take on one of the dominant players from Ceni, but where Dioro Hansil served up a defeat to Gilad ben Yehudah, Hadar ben Ofer took the opportunity for a little vengeance. Demaris is a top player and it shows, but no matter how hard this titan pushed ben Ofer, ben Ofer was ready for it. With 6-4 6-4 win over the 41^st ranked player, ben Ofer has truly shown that Judea should not be taken lightly.

Anat ben Yonah/Hadar ben Ofer vs Adelaide Frost/Karissa Macy (NDA)

Fresh off of his singles win against Noah Demaris, Hadar ben Ofer turned around and joined his doubles partner Anat ben Yonah to defeat the team of Adelaide Frost and Karissa Macy of Ndaku. This match teetered back and forth between sets with each team taking a chance at dominating play. In the end, the Judean team came out on top of this 6-2 1-6 6-2 match.

Ndaku on Matchday 1

SAN SALADOR - We've seen some grass hot tennis action today in matchday 1 of the San Salvador Open, and many Ndakenes have had a good start, while others had a rockier one, and others had to unfortunately face compatriots.

Gabe Anderson in action on Sunday

In group 8 we saw Electrum Slam II semi-finalist and Ndakene singles number 1 Gabe Anderson take on Ofir bat Paz of Judah in straight sets. The 6'2" power groundstroker maintained a consistent serve throughout the match, in order to strategically rally with the Judaian. Winning an astounding 92% of his first serve and 84% with his second, Anderson made ways to use his forehand strokes, his most notable weapon. Eventually he claimed a 6-2, 6-3 victory.

In group 9 was Ndakene rookie Jeanna Hakim taking on a fellow Schottian Eliza Reusmann in her first main international match. Hakim is expected to mature into a more established player as time progresses, as her coach had to emphasize after her loss that, as a professional tennis player, these series of matches are to be learning experiences. Struggling to find a rhythmic serve in the first set, the Schottian took advantage of her low 1st serve percentage and attacked her second serves often. Eventually Reusmann claimed a 0-6 first set. Hakim found a little more rhythm in the second set after she was down 0-2 early on, as she was never broken after that, but unfortunately could not break back to stay in the match and eventually lost 0-6, 4-6.

In group 10 was the battle of the sexes and the battle of the lefties as Ndakene tennis veteran Martin Bond had to take on a 6'1" compatriot Marianita Cross in an entertaining 3 sets. In the first set, Bond was determined to make a good start as he was able to break Cross' serve three times in order to eventually claim a 6-2 first set. Cross in the second set responded accordingly by hitting a whopping 7 total aces against the 5'11" male lefty. By maintaining a powerful and consistent serve, Cross was able to break Bond twice in order to claim a 6-3 second set. Cross and Bond in the third set fought a good fight and were determined to break one another, playing as if the two were of different nationalities. At 4-all, Cross serving, Bond made 4 spectacular returns in a row to earn a break to finish the match, and he did after serving for a 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 victory over the compatriot.

There was another compatriotic match between 6'5" Rafferty Henri against 5'7" Dani Mateus. Henri was able to break the Ndakene hopeful early on in the first set and both players maintained their service games from there on. Eventually Henri was able to close with a 6-4 victory. At 2-all in the second set, Henri's aggressive serve-and-volley and return-and-volley type of play got him through to break Mateus twice to enable him to claim a 6-4, 6-2 straight win.

Over on the doubles side of the draws in group 1 were Rafferty Henri and Karissa Macy taking on fellow Electrumites Hunter Roberts and Carmichael Brown in 3 tough and entertaining sets. The Ndakenes and the Electrumites both did very well keeping hold of their consistent service games and displayed high quality doubles play. Eventually Henri/Macy and Roberts/Brown found themselves in a tight first set tie-break. Both sides continued with their consistent serving as they held until it was 4 points all; Rafferty returned a 133 mph/214 kph, finally earning the Ndakenes a mini-break. Holding this break, Macy/Henri eventually claimed a 7-6 (7-4) first set. The Electrumites in the second set initiated a much more aggressive play as they were determined to apply pressure on the Ndakenes by uniformly taking over the net and pushing Macy/Henri back. Breaking the Ndakenes twice, Roberts/Brown claimed a 6-3 second set. The third set was the first set all over again, except at 5-all, Brown serving, Macy/Henri broke their serve after Macy's winning volley, thus allowing Henri to close the match with 3 straight aces and a winner volley, concluding a successful 7-6(7-4), 3-6, 7-5 victory.

Ndaku's number 1 doubles team Glenn Benoit and Drummond Hamilton took on Banijans Musa Kalu and Muhammad Tambo in a straight victory. The Ndakenes throughout the whole match ensured applied pressure on the Banijans' style of play as they were able to break them three times in order to claim a 6-2 first set. The Banijans stepped up their game in the second set as both sides maintained consistent serves until at 3-all, Kalu serving, 6'0" tall Drummond Hamilton played a winning smash of a lob from Muhammad Tambo, which allowed the Ndakenes to eventually claim a 6-2, 6-4 victory.
