– This was a good period on the scandinavian ITF tour. We are happy for the development of our players and the rise in ranking has been in the right direction since day one. Its easier in the beginning and this scandinavian tour is a good start. Its like ”home” for our players and a good transition but soon we need to experience higher level and adapt in order to develop and increase our level, says Andrej Tonejc.
