Ameer Al-Sharrawi


Isume, Sainam - Florinthian Ameer Al-Sharrawi won his first Grand Slam, after defeating world number two Nehemiah Aicken in three seats. The last time a Florinthian male tennis player won the Sainam Open was in 1544. The 26-year old Florinthian player, who had never reached a Grand Slam's quarterfinals before, enters in the IAT Men's Ranking Top Ten for first time after his title in Sainam.

Despite losing the final, Nehemiah Aicken displaces Severyan Peter Ulanov in the number one of the Men's Ranking. He will hope to continue his good performance in the Hylis Open.

In Women's Singles, the Sainam Open was won by Nylander Nea Eason, who defeated Severyan Tasha Ubirikova in two sets (6-4 and 7-6). Hylian Elma Lundquist will continue another week leading the IAT Women's Ranking.
