Montenegrin tennis teams have fulfilled their goal - to be placed in the II World Group

Montenegrin national tennis advanced to the second level of the World Group, as both male and female tennis players played excellently in the final tournaments of the third qualitative group.

The men's team was defeated today in Ulcinj in the final of the III European Davis Cup group by the selection of Cyprus 2:1. In the first match, Matija Samardžić was defeated by Nikolas Campbell 6:2, 6:1. Petar Jovanović evened the score against Menelaos Efstatiu with a score of 6:3, 6:3.

The best-ranked player Rezart Cunguz did not play today in the match with no result, due to the pain he felt in his leg, so the coach Aleksandar Tomić did not want to risk an injury. In the decisive doubles, Matija Samardžić and Simon Knežević provided excellent resistance to Sergis Kiradzis and Eleftherios Neos. The Cypriot won the doubles 6:4, 7:6.

However, as the first place in the group stage, our tennis players secured a competition in the II World Group, where they will have their first duel in February for a place in the playoffs of the best world group.

In Moldova, in III Billie Jean King qualitative level, after two initial defeats in the group against Luxembourg and Ireland, the first favorites, they registered three victories and finished the competition in seventh place.

The draw this time was not in favor of our ladies, so an even better result was missed. Our tennis players defeated San Marino 2:0 today. The first victory was won by Anja Drašković, who was better than Talita Gijardi - 6:0, 6:0, and Tea Nikčević easily defeated Silvija Aleta - 6:1, 6:3.
