Wallenburg Trophy Results 2018
The Wallenberg Trophy is an annual team competition between the ICs from Sweden (founding IC), Great-Britain, France and Germany. IC of Germany hosted the event 2018 in April in the beautiful "Frankfurter Tennis Club 1914 Palmengarten", one of the "Leading Tennis Clubs of Germany".
Unfortunately, just before the event, the IC of France had to withdraw due to injuries. The team was substituted by a last minute second German team. In previous years, a round robin format was applied, whereas this year 2 semi finals were played on Saturday, followed by a final and a ranking match on Sunday. Each tie was played with 2 men´s singles, 2 ladies´ singles and 2 mixed doubles.
The winners of the semi finals were Sweden (4:2 vs Germany B) and Germany A (6:0 vs GB). The final on Sunday was won by team IC Germany A beating team IC Sweden with 5:1. Only Henrik Holm, ranked ATP no. 17 in former years, could win a point for Sweden. The ranking match was won by the IC of GB with a 3:3 result, with GB winning on sets (8:6). Please see below for a full list of results.
The whole event was marked, not only by great class tennis, but also by friendship and fair play – as always. The next year´s event will be hosted by the IC of GB.
