That is how they set this year’s record of as many as 33 consecutive shots. Their game drew considerable attention and certainly benefited from the loud cheering and support from the spectators on land.
SUP(er) Tennis is played with a racket and a ball, just like the conventional tennis; however, the players stand on surfboards instead of a stable surface. This interesting competition, sponsored by the Slovenian insurer Triglav, is open daily to all the visitors of the tournament in Umag.
Today, at the 30th Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag, Admir Kalender challenged his compatriot Antonio Šančić to a duel. To make things more interesting, the duel took place at sea.
The two Croatian tennis players were not discouraged from playing tennis on water by either the hot Umag sun or the choppy sea. On the contrary, both of them showed exceptional composure and stability, and ended up falling into the sea only a few times while trying to lob the ball across the net.
