COMRADE NICOLAE CEAUSESCU BEING FURIOUS, THEN HAPPY AND THEN FURIOUS AGAIN WHILE WATCHING SALVADOR HILLS OPEN

Recently started tennis tournament Salvador Hills Open became the most talked about event among Romanians, as 6 our players took part in it. Dementiu Goblinescu, Shuichi Alba, Kirumi Octavian and Elena Ceausescu competed in singles tournament, while Vlad Popa and Valerian Codreanu joined our team in pairs competition.

On the day of qualification, 10 September, Romanian tennis fans got nothing but sadness and despair as our players lost both of their matches: Vlad Popa and Valeian Codreanu failed to qualify into main pairs competition and Kirumi Octavian didn't qualify into singles tournament.
Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu, who watched both matches, was really furious cause of shameful performance of our players, and on the next morning he had a speech in a parliament, criticizing our sportsmen (and women):

What the hell was that? Why do you made such a terrible performance?! You are not proud Romanian citizens, you're traitors! Capitalist scum! Don't bother to come back!

But on the day of the games of 1 round, 11 September, situation was clearly opposite. All our sportsmen (Dementiu Goblinescu, Shuichi Alba and Elena Ceausescu) defeated their opponents and advanced to the round 2. Many Romanian sports fans didn't expected that result, remembering terrible performance they saw on the previous day. But despite of that, tennis players made our people happy. At least for one day.
As like on the previous day, our tyrant Leader Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu watched all three matches and shortly after they ended, he had reacted to their results:

Well done! You're true patriots of Romania! Our country is proud of you! Keep it up and defeat all those liberals and capitalists!

On the next day, 12 September, our participants played on Round 2. And again, like on Thursday, Romanian tennis fans experienced only despair as all 3 our tennis players were shamely defeated.
Our Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu still haven't reacted to that. Maybe he is too angry to talk.

Anyway, Don't be upset! On tomorrow, 13 September, we would see Round of 32 of pairs competition and our another pair (Dementiu Goblinescu and Kirumi Octavian) would play here. We wish them victory and good luck!

INTERVIEW: SHUICHI ALBA

Just after the matches of the 1st round have ended, we managed to get an interview from one of our tennis players: Shuichi Alba.

Pahomiu Hohol (reporter): Hello, Shuichi! Congratulations on your winning! Well done!
Shuichi Alba: Thank you very much! I appreciate all your support.
Pahomiu Hohol: So, how did you match go? Was it hard or not?
Shuichi Alba: Well, the first set was really tough. Jeff Scorpinus made really good performance here and I lost it. But on the next two sets, I finally managed to get control of that match and defeat my opponent. Damn, that was a real battle.
Pahomiu Hohol: You was moving really fast, Shuichi. Tell us please, how did you do that?
Shuichi Alba: Heh, that was really simple. I just imagined that I'm escaping from that commie Ceausescu Romanian hell and running from Securitate butchers... Oh damn, did I really said that to you? Oh crap. I'm fucked up... They will kill me...

SOCIALIST ROMANIAN HIGHLIGHTS FOR SALVADOR HILLS OPEN

Today is the final day of Salvador Hills Open, and final matches of the tournament will be played on evening. But unfortunately, for our athletes this tournament have ended beforehand as our last two participants played were eliminated on Monday, 14 September in pair Round of 16.
Let's remember how our tennis players performed in their first tournament.

Dementiu Goblinescu\Kirumi Octavian: Round of 16, pairs
Dementiu Goblinescu: 2 Round, singles
Shuichi Alba: 2 round, singles
Elena Ceausescu: 2 round, singles
Kirumi Octavian: Qualification, singles
Vlad Popa\Valerian Codreanu: Qualification, pairs

Definitely not the best performance from our players. But this tournament was their first major sport event, so we are definitely waiting better results in a future, when our athletes will gain a lot of tennis experience.
We can congratulate Dementiu Goblinescu and Kirumi Octavian, cause they lasted longer then all our players, especially Dementiu (cause Kirumi failed to qualify into main singles tournament).
And of course we are upset by the terrible performance of our another pair, Vlad Popa\Valerian Codreanu, as they also failed to qualify into the main tournament.

Nevertheless, we look into the future with some optimism. On Sunday, 20 September, our players will begin their path in their second tournament, Mercedinian Open. 5 players would take part in it and try to achieve successful results.

Singles:
1. Emil Biba
2. Shuichi Alba
3. Vlad Popa
4. Elena Ceausescu
Pairs:
1. Shuichi Alba\Emil Biba
2. Elena Ceausescu\Dementiu Goblinescu

They will fight until the last moment and will prove that they are proud citizens of Socialist Romania which love their Glorious Leader, Nicolae Ceausescu. We wish them new victories and a lot of good luck, which they definitely need. Glory to Ceausescu and see you later!
