Tennis Europe Winter Cups by HEAD
2008 Tennis Europe Winter Cups by HEAD - 16 & Under Girls
Karolina and Kristyna Pliskova teamed up to win the Tennis Europe Winter Cups by HEAD for the Czech Republic for the second time in three years at the final
rounds of the Girls 16 & Under event in Ronchin (FRA).
The twin sisters - who also triumphed in the 14 & Under category in 2006 - returned to Winter Cups action in style after missing the event in 2007, and had to rely
on their experience as a doubles team as their Italian opponents forced the tie to a decisive third rubber.
Nastassja Burnett put Italy in charge by winning the opening match, outlasting Kristina 62 16 63. Karolina levelled things up with a 64 61 win over Tennis Europe Junior Masters
runner-up Martina Trevisan before all four players returned to the court for the doubles, won by the twins - already regular partners on the ITF Junior and Professional circuits - for the loss of just three games.
The win was the first victory in this age category for the Czech Republic girls' team.
