EUC Tennis concludes in Coimbra

The 7th European Universities Tennis Championship was organised from July 25-31, 2010 in Coimbra, Portugal.

During six days Coimbra could assist to competitive games, always with high temperatures (some days with 38-40 degrees).

The University Stadium received 34 teams from 16 countries, a record number of participants in tennis in the EUSA history.

The tournament was held on a very high level, as a lot of players have positions in current ATP and WTA rankings.

After more that 200 matches, the new European champions became Kozminski University who beat Zagreb University by 2-0, in a very competitive game.

In female final the title went to Leonard Da Vinci University who won Moscow State University of Economics Statistics and Informatics by 3-0.

Apart from games, the participants could know Coimbra University, the city, its culture and traditions and Figueira da Foz Beach.

Doing a balance, the O.C. President Ricardo Duarte considers that the opinion of delegations is the same: it was the best European Universities Tennis Championship ever.

EUSA Tennis Technical Delegate, Nick Grivas, agrees that “the big numbers of participants shows that tennis is a very popular sport among students. The Coimbra Organizing Committee has done a tremendous work ensuring the players very good conditions for playing tennis, living and socializing,” adding that we are very proud that as a result of Tennis EUC, Coimbra students and community have now more courts to practice tennis.

Next year the Championship will take place in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
