Entries Announced for Beach Tennis World Championships   |

The ITF Beach Tennis World Championships are almost upon us with the tournament due to begin on Thursday June 21, 2012. This year the championships, which will run until Sunday June 24, 2012, are taking place at Burgas Beach in Bulgaria.

The Acceptance List for the Men’s and Women’s events at the World Championships has been released. The fourth edition of the Championships sees a record number of individual nationalities represented with 18 countries on the list.

Both the men’s and women’s 2011 champions will be returning as they look to make successful defenses of their titles won in Rome. Alessandro Calbucci & Luca Meliconi and Simona Briganti & Laura Olivieri are both attempting to become the first pairing to not only retain the title but also the first two-time champions.

Meliconi has the honor of having been part of two championship winning pairings (having also won in 2010 with Alan Maldinional) so he is in the hunt for a hat-trick of world titles.

Also in the women’s draw are former women’s champions Federica Bacchetta & Giulia Spazzoli, who will also be mounting an assault on the quest to become first two-time champions, and in the process reclaim the title they last held in 2010.
