The Italians have done it again! The team of Alessandro Calbucci and Marco Garavini won the Divi Resorts Aruba International Beach Tennis Event in a sizzling, awesome final against their countrymen Melliconi and Marighella, who could not keep up against the million-miles-a second services and smashes. They fought, but lost (6-2/6-2). The Italian women were also victorious: Curzi/Cimatti defeated defending champions Johnson/Melch with great force and technique (6-1/7-5).
The four days that the Beach Tennis Event was made up of, were filled with fantastic matches in all categories, music, drinks, food and wonderful people, who were having the time of their lives. The large, happy group of Brazilians made a party of every day and night together with the players of other nationalities.
The set-up was grand, the vibes could be felt all over Eagle Beach. Kudos for organizers Sjoerd de Vries, Jochem Ros, Marc Kiezenbrink and for tireless Koen and Rein and their teams. The event was sponsored by the Aruba Tourism Authority, Amstel Bright, Divi Resorts, Senor Frogs, Aruba Aloe and GTiAruba.
