On the 27th of January, the Basque Association of Beach Tennis and Minority Sports organized the VI. Basque Ring Tennis Tournament (Individual) in Elorrieta, Bilbao (Basque Country).
We met at the Elorrieta basketball court. There we prepared two courts, and we started the tournament. We got 8 players together, and we started with the quarterfinal matches. We played to 15 points, the first to arrive won.
Andoni and Alain played for the first time and had a worthy tournament. Alain beat Luis in the quarterfinals, and after losing in the semifinal to Egoitz; he achieved third place after beating Andi. Andoni, for his part, after beating Javi, and Andi reached the final. Egoitz was finally able to win the tournament but after sweating a lot and making a great effort. I appreciate the participation of all the players and the desire they showed. Hopefully little by little this beautiful sport will grow in the Basque Country. Our idea is to organize the Ereaga Tournament in May, a minor tournament in summer, and in September or October, the Basque Tournament of Ring Tennis but this time doubles.
Here are the results:
