Ovogodišnje ITF mlađeseniorsko Svjetsko prvenstvo okupilo je vrlo jaku konkurenciju na terenima Miami Beacha, Miami, na Floridi (SAD). U borbi za pobjede je i hrvatska reprezentacija uzrasta +45 godina, koja u sastavu Krešimir Ritz, Eduard Lorencin, Davor Bosnar i Mario Šenjug igra na Dubler Cupu, muškom turniru svojeg uzrasta. 🇭🇷

Hrvatska se u prvom dijelu natjecanja nalazi u skupini E, u kojoj su i Njemačka i Portugal. Nijemci su u prvom kolu svladali hrvatske reprezentativce s 2-1, a slijedi ogled s Portugalcima (utorak, 22. listopada).

Na ovogodišnjem ekipnom SP-u mlađih seniora za pobjede se bori ukupno 117 ekipa, a odlučivat će se o trofejima na sveukupno šest muških i ženskih turnira u dobnim kategorijama od +35, +40 i +45 godina. Francuski reprezentativci i reprezentativke brane naslove na trima od šest turnira. 🎾🌍

Poslije završetka ekipnog natjecanja, koje traje od 20. do 25. listopada, započet će ovogodišnje ITF mlađeseniorsko pojedinačno Svjetsko prvenstvo (26. listopada - 2. studenog). Od hrvatskih aduta, Krešimir Ritz je među prijavljenim igračima za pojedinačno mlađeseniorsko SP u dobnoj skupini +45 godina.

U borbi za pobjede bit će i nekadašnji članovi društva prvih 100 na svijetu, poput Ruskinje Line Krasnoruckaje i Španjolca Daniela Munoza de la Nave, a velike ambicije imat će i španjolski teniski veteran Roberto Menendez Ferre, koji će tražiti peti uzastopni naslov u pojedinačnoj konkurenciji u različitim dobnim skupinama. Nizozemac Markus Hilpert bi na Floridi mogao braniti tri naslova osvojena na lanjskom SP-u, na kojem je slavio u pojedinačnoj konkurenciji, muškim parovima i mješovitim parovima.
