13th SMRIKVA BOWL
Tennis Club Smrikve - Pula, Croatia - June 25-29, 2008

Over 100 boys and girls from 24 countries (5 different continents!) came to the 13th Smrikva Bowl in Pula, Croatia. The premiere international event for 10 and under players not only gave the winners the customary mountain bikes (sponsored by Royal Bikes), but this year they also received a seven week scholarship at the Patrick Mouratoglou Academy in Paris and a sponsorship with Wilson.


Following the Smrikra Bowl, the 7th "Little Mo"/Smrikva Bowl competition took place. The event, created by the Smrikve Tennis Club and the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation, is the first-ever international competition between the United States and Europe for boys and girls 10 and under. For the first time in the history of the event, the two teams tied at 4-4 and the match had to be decided in favor of the Smrikva team, with nine sets one over "Little Mo's" eight.
