Hope Mandy will win the title!

Go Mandy (so her injury wasn't serious :woohoo: ) and Stephanie V!!!

Where are San Marino's girls? :awww:

Good luck Lisa Camenzuli :wavey:

I'd consider it a failure if Mandy looses more than 2 games on the whole tournament :tape: She's miles away from this girls

I've found the quarterfinals results :)

Mandy Minella (Lux) b. Johanna Hemmerle (Lie) 61 61

Stephanie Vogt (Lie) b. Cristina Garcia Gonzales (And) 61 10 ret.
Lynn Philippe (Lux) b. Emilia Milovanovic (Mal) 62 62

Go Lisa :toothy: !

how small has a country to be, to be part of this games?

What a cool little tournament, giving the smaller fish in the ocean a chance to shine :D

It isn't just a tennistournament

It is a competition for the 8 smallest european countries (Iceland, Cyprus, Monaco, Luxembourg, Andorra, Malta, Liechtenstein and San Marino)

A competition like the Olympic Games with many sports like Volleyball, Basket Ball, Swimming, Athletics, Judo, Table Tennis, ...

In 2003, Claudine Schaul won the gold medal and Mandy Minella the silver medal
In doubles, they won also together.

Mandy, this time the 2 Gold Medals are for you !

Mandy Minella will have no problems here to win her first gold medal (after the silver medal two years ago)! :drive:


Go Mandy and Lynn! :bounce: :rocker2:

Nice to see 16-year-old Lynn Philippe getting some more experience under her belt. Hopefully she will try a couple more ITFs later this year.

Go Mandy! :cool:

How cool, shame the games don't get more publicity!

Too bad for the Icelandic girl

Good luck Mandy Minella, win this tournament. I hope Liza Camunzeli gets the silver!

Yay Go Lisa Camenzuli :bounce:

I've read the statute on official site (www.andorra2005.ad/en/): countries must have less than 1 million of inhabitants and a own olympic commitee (this point cuts off Vatican City :) ).

Today are scheduled the single semifinals (Minella-Camenzuli, Philippe-Vogt) and a double quarterfinal (byes for other three)

Go Lisa Camenzuli, smallest fish in the ocean :hug: ! Get your chance to shine! (AndrewC copyright :D )

Take gold for Luxembourg Mandy! :angel:

I was right that Vogt beats Philippe. Stephanie already did well on the ITF tour and is just 14 years old. Last year she played two 25000$ Challengers in Vaduz and Lenzerheide and lost 46 76 06 to Visic and 26 62 16 vs Parmentier
