The Massa Lombarda Tennis Club was crowned regional Under 16 men’s champion, gaining access to the macro-area phase, scheduled for mid-September. After the victories (all 2-0) against Ct Albinea, Ct Cesena Ronconi and Cus Ferrara in the semi-final, the Ravenna team beat Sporting Club Sassuolo with the same result. Pietro Ricci left just two games (6-1 6-1) to Carlo Paci, while Matteo Ceppi regulated Alberto Nicolini with a periodic 6-4, thus making the doubles dispute pointless (Jacopo Liverani completes the Massa squad).
Also embellishing the weekend for the Massa Lombarda Tennis Club was the success of the Under 16 women’s team, which beat the Riccione Tennis Club 2-1 in the play-off for 3rd place (again in Modena): Sofia Cadar she beat Francesca Sparnacci 6-1 6-2, Maria Vittoria Ranieri lost with a score of 7-5 1-6 6-4 to Vittoria Muratori, but in the doubles played by the same four players the victory was 6-1 6-2 of Cadar-Ranieri allowed the team led by Matteo Versari (Maria Luce Ossani the third player) to gain the pass for the Macroarea phase.
“Winning a regional title is always a great result that doesn’t happen every year – underlines manager Fulvio Campomori –. A satisfaction that for our club comes eighteen years after the Under 18 team title in 2006. In the 2022 and 2023 seasons we we were placed second in the under 14 women’s championship, also winning the mixed Under 10 macro-area phase in Tolentino last year. I would like to highlight that in 2024 we have registered 9 youth teams, participating in all the categories of the affiliate championships with the exception of the one. ‘Under 12 women’s team. Some regrets remain for the very young Under 12 men’s team, which stopped in the quarterfinals of the regional table, losing to CT Zavaglia in the play-off double.”
