It was really a “Super Saturday” for the USA in Umag. See the results from the ITF Press Release below.

The men’s 65 doubles final was incredibly exciting and well played. So was the men’s 80 doubles.

I’ll be posting photos in the next few days, probably on Tuesday.

Please find below the final results from the 2012 ITF Super-Seniors World Team Championships in Umag and Novigrad, Croatia after the first day of finals in 8 of the 10 Cups. The finals of the Jack Crawford (Men’s 70) and Queens’ Cup (Women’s 75) will be taking place tomorrow in Novigrad.  186 teams from 35 countries competed in ten age categories from 60-and-over to 80-and-over. The ITF Super-Seniors World Individual Championships are taking place at the same venues at Umag next week. For the latest results, visit the ITF seniors website: www.itftennis.com/seniors.
