Tennis in Malta
The sport which we now see flourishing on our islands, in its first years had been restricted to a limited number of players, with access to the then few existing clubs being considerably difficult for Maltese citizens. However tennis has, since its very first years, enjoyed a good popularity among the Maltese citizens, mainly due to the British Military presence on our island. In fact tennis wise, we owe a lot to the British as tennis courts mushroomed over Malta. These were mostly located in chosen parts of the island, with the main courts being at the Union Club and the United Services Sports Club (now the Marsa Sports Club).
During the years 1990-2000, considered to be the golden years of local tennis, big leap forward were experienced. The local association not only participated in a number of international tournaments abroad, but proved itself capable of organizing such international events in Malta with honourable success, reaching international standards. No less than four European Championships, two Davis Cup ties, three ATP Challenger Tournaments, two ITF Junior World Ranking events, as well as other friendly encounters were orginised.
Our Davis Cup team is very succesfull:
Next tie
Malta will compete in Europe Zone Group III in 2012.
Last tie
Malta finished 11th in Europe Zone Group III in 2011, having lost to Georgia 3-0 in the 9th to 12th Play-off.
History
Malta first played Davis Cup in 1986 and played each year until 2006. It then took three years out before returning in 2010.
Our biggest talent is Mathew Asciak who is currently No. 887 and some
experts say he is capable of getting in the Top 10 soon.

Aber ihr seid Semiten die sich aus dem Maghrebischen ein verdrehtes Arabisch angeeignet haben?

Sehr subjektive Sichtweise. Stimmt nur zum Teil. Lies meinen Thread über die Geschichte,
dann weißt du mehr.
