January 2026 The IC of GB takes home the Gottfried von Cramm Trophy 2025 The Frankfurt Tennisclub 1914 Palmengarten was the venue at the end of August for the second Gottfried von Cramm Trophy, a team competition in which one women's singles, one men's singles and a mixed doubles are held in each match. While the two singles are played normally, the mixed doubles is a championship tiebreak. In each match between two teams, the winner can reach a maximum of 3 points. For example, if a team wins both singles but loses the championship tiebreak, 2 points go to the winner and 1 point to the loser. In Frankfurt, five teams from six nations participated: Spain, Great Britain, Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland in conjunction with Canada. Due to the odd number of teams, the format required all teams to play everyone else. After three rounds, the teams from Spain and Great Britain were in the lead. In the last game of the tournament (against Germany), the British took the points to pass Spain and win the trophy. Below is the final ranking and the individual players: Great Britain (Emily Arbuthnott, Pedro Ocana) Spain (Isabel Fernandez, Carlos Garcia Villanieva) Germany (Natali Gumbrecht, Tim Richter) Luxembourg (Tatiana Silbereisen) Switzerland / Canada (Kasia Poplawski) Previous Article USIC visit marks a milestone for the IC of Hong Kong Tags: Gottfried Von Cramm
