Against all odds, Israel’s national tennis team has earned itself entrance to the Davis Cup‘s World Group in 2008, for the first time since 1994 (that’s 13 years!). Bloggers point out that the big hero was Dudi Sela when he defeated Fernando Gonzalez in an unbelievably tense match. For more details on the game, see Ynet.
In other tennis-related achievements, Israel’s Special Olympics team will be going to Shanghai in early October to compete in a variety of sports, including table tennis with silver medalist Meir Abramov. Says the Jerusalem Post, “Table tennis player Meir Abramov, 21, who represented Israel in Ireland and came home with a silver medal, told Peres: ‘It was the most thrilling experience of my life. I never thought that I would ever be chosen to represent Israel.’”
