… we fully enjoyed it…
… today Iva collected the Championship… and here is the moment when the girls handshake at the net…
and the moment of joy when Iva reached her friends and family…
Iva Svoboda crowned herself the 30th Smrikva Bowl 2025 edition winner… her sister also play tennis and came to cheer for her…
I am sure this is only one of the first meetings for the most Smrikva kids and there will be many matches in the future for most of them… and many opportunities to measure their skills development…
… after the girls exhibition of their skills it was the time of boys…
… and after girls Consolation finals at the court #2 the boys Consolation finals started… between Nathanael Philip from Sweden and Nicklas Hermann from Germany…
Today Nicklas was able to win the Consolation Draw finals match and crown himself the Champion…
… in the Main Draw… two boys to reach the finals were David Simon from Belgium and Antonio Stanic from Croatia.
here we are with the boys just few minutes before their match when the Chair Umpire Damir shared few words with both of them…
totally ready with Grand Slam sign…
… and here is Antonio in action…
the shangri-la “seeds of the Legends” theater…
and here is David in action…
and here is Antonio in action again
… shangri-la again…
our Staff Members in action…
… in the finals there were two SB players who attended also our Family Week this spring… and Luca came to see the finals…
there were a lot of beautiful and amazing points David and Antonio played… it was a great game… momentum switched more than once…
and here is the moment when David conquered the title…
handshake on the net…
David collected more points today and crowned himself the 30th Smrikva Bowl 2025 Champion…
The awarding ceremony is always a special moment… and this year due to hot weather we decided to do it in the Central Park…
everything is ready… for the awarding ceremony for the 40 medals and trophies… to start to call the names… and will recall just some of the actors present at the awarding ceremony…
