Recently our school participated in the TISB tennis tournament under 15 tennis tournament, our teams placed second in the boys category davis cup and third in the girls category Davis cup. The boys team consisted of Nischil, Adil, Martin, and Tanish, and the girls team consisted of Alisha, Namrata, and Valerie These are amazing results considering our players are at least two to three years younger than the competition. For those of you who aren't familiar with the davis cup format, it is fairly similar to standard tennis, the same rules apply, the difference is that the players are divided into squads of four, and each team must win one singles match, and one doubles match against the opponents to advance to the next round, however if the team loses either the doubles or the singles match they must play a singles match again called the reverse singles. Our boys team did very well by coming second, they beat National public school (Rajajinagar) without having to play the reverse singles, the same for TISB, they only had to play a reverse singles against Sarla Birla academy because they lost the doubles. After this they came on top of their pool and had to play against Delhi public school in which they lost, however they played very well with the points nearly always coming to deuce (tie). Our girls team did quite well as well, they reached third with points scored over Canadian International School and Delhi public school. Oddly enough they lost against Canadian winning the singles, and losing the doubles and reverse singles, they scored points with the singles win, and were on an equal footing with Delhi Public School south , however DPS did not show up for their face off with our school, presumably because they were too scared. This gave our team one point and they secured third place. The icing on the cake would definitely be Adil's win of best player, he is just 9 years old, and it is usually from the ranks of the winning team that this award is presented to, but he played so well that he justified the organizers giving him this prestigious award. well done to all those who participated they all performed very well and have made Inventure proud.
