The 8th IFBT World Championships of beach tennis.
2008 saw the most International teams competing at this event in the history of the game. And what an awesome event it was with lots of great matches to watch and play and lots of new friendships to be formed and old ones to treasure. Big congratulations to the Italians for winning the nations events and mens and women's open events. Also, well done to the men's french team Yankel and Hocdoerfer who finished on the podium after many 3 set matches to get there. It was an awesome experience to watch your fighting spirit.
Once again the "Mighty Sandflies" added some bite to the sands of Marina di Ravenna with finishing with a World Ranking of 4th out of 12 teams in the nation events. It was truly an amazing effort!! Well Done! Mel Butler, Belinda O'Connor, Kellie de Burgh, James Knaggs, Paul Mapley and Con Christopoulous.
There were great matches to be seen everywhere with the Italians winning the Men's Open Doubles and Singles and the Women's Open Doubles and Singles.
