This event was very well run. There was excellent transportation amongst the various venues and practice courts. There were plenty of practice courts the weather was pretty good except for the first day of play, which was rained out in the afternoon.  There were players from 33 countries in this event.  The opening ceremonies featured a band, singers in traditional Austrian dress and of course some speeches.

See you all next year in Florida, USA!
