On the 17th and 27th of January, the Basque Association of Beach Tennis and Minority Sports organized the V. Basque Ring Tennis Tournament (Individual) in Derio (Bizkaia – Basque Country). We met both days in Derio. We gathered in total 9 players and we played 3 rounds the first day (all against all) and the other 3 rounds the next day (using a knockout system).
On the first day 4 players participated, and on the second day 8, three players from the first day repeated. We added the points obtained on both days according to the position of each one and calculated the final ranking. It rained both days so we had to set up the two ringtennis courts inside a free-covered fronton in Derio. We had fun. The matches were very intense and disputed. On the first day, Joseba (he also participated in the second and last session) and Egoitz were the best and on the second and last day, Egoitz played in the final against Darlyn. Darlyn is an 11 year old boy who has improved a lot.
This tournament has been good for us tournament to practice and prepare for the World Championship that will be held in the summer and we hope to be able to attend and represent the Basque Country. If all goes well in April we will play the IV Basque Ring Tennis Tournament but this time in doubles.
Here we leave you the results:
