This week, I am in the western region of Japan to support TF in the area. First stop was the "Beans Dome" in Hyogo up in the mountains for the Fed Cup tie between Japan and Croatia because the Japanese distributors Bridgestone Sports had a stand. The dome is in the middle of nowhere, situated around 40 minutes from Kobe city. The weather was snowing with no central heating inside!
By coincidence, one of our TF contract players, Jelena Kostanic-Tosic was playing number one for Croatia. Naturally, she was sporting the TF logo on her racket.
Being the extremely nice and friendly person, she agreed for a short interview and a visit to our TF stand! (Shown here proudly showing her string, Promix 1.30mm). She produced a good result, beating the higher ranked Aiko Nakamura in a three set match clearly as the underdog (Photo by Mr "Matchan" Matsumoto).
