2012 ESA Tennis Tournament - Recap!

Post date: 06-Jul-2012 08:55:26

Finally, we had a lovely tennis weekend!

Saturday surprised everybody with an amazing German summer day: sunny and temperatures over 30 degrees. Just perfect to play tennis!

We then enjoyed a nice dinner all together in the spanish restaurant of the club, before the thunderstorms arrived to Darmstadt in the night.

Sunday morning start was more difficult due to the weather conditions. The rain appeared in our tournament for the first time in many years. Some enthusiastic players were not stopped by this conditions and kept playing outside claiming "This is perfect, it is like playing tennis at home" !. Others preferred to play more comfortably on the indoor courts. After midday it was still cloudy, but it did not rain any more, letting us play the rest of the matches. Eventually we were even able to meet the plan.

At the end of the day the result was that again ESTEC won the ESA Tennis Tournament. Romain (ESTEC) and Raffaela (ESRIN) were nominated the best players of the tournament. While Martin (ESAC) was nominated for the best fair play.

Thank you all ESTEC, ESRIN, ESAC and ESOC players for coming to this event! See you next year!
