Rapport de Pierre Mignot

On their way to Wimbledon on invitation from the IC of Great Britain, a team of Chile came to Brussels for a meeting with the IC of Belgium. 

Welcome was organised on Friday by Michel at "Le Roy d'Espagne" and the gala dinner took place on Saturday at the Hotel Barsey where the Chilean team was staying. At the end of the dinner, the traditional distribution of ties took place: Jaime Pinto Bravo was nominated as international member of the IC of Belgium and Michel, Eric and Pierre were nominated as members of the IC of Chile. 

The atmosphere was wonderful during the event, thanks to the really great spirit and relationship quality of all the players of Chile, giving a real meaning to the IC motto: hands across the nets, friendship across the oceans. 

On the courts, the programme was established considering the age and strength of the participants. Most matches took place on Saturday 23 June by a beautiful weather, except the 3 Mixte Doubles on Sunday morning. At the end, Belgium won by 11 victories to 5, 6 out of the 16 matches being concluded by a super tie-break (refer to the detailed results below).
