Head Challenge 2009 - Messaggio Dupre
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the final rounds of this third edition of the Tennis Europe Nations
Challenge by HEAD. The 2009 competition has attracted a record entry of 31 nations, and looks set to be the
toughest competition yet.
This exciting tournament is the official European Team Championship event for Under 12s, and for many of the players
present, this represents a first opportunity to play for their national teams, a first step on a ladder that for some will lead
one day to doing so in the Davis Cup or Fed Cup.
Over the next few days, the eight teams to have fought through to these final rounds will compete for the honour of being
Tennis Europe Nations Challengeby HEAD champions.
The Tennis Europe Nations Challengeby HEAD is presented in association with the world’s leading tennis equipment
manufacturer, HEAD. I would like to thank them for their enthusiastic support for the competition, and Tennis Europe in
general.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the participating national tennis associations for supporting the event,
and also the great many people involved at club level, the tournament organisers and
officials who have played a role in the staging of the competition. Your generous
support and hospitality are very much appreciated. Many thanks also to all of the
sponsors and volunteers for their valuable contributions.
Whether you are here as a player or to support this event, I wish you an enjoyable
and successful week of tennis.
