2004

Every year the board of Estonian Tennis Association and the Coaches Committe select the best 4 players(2 youth players and 2 professionals) and a coach of the year. Last year "Evald Kree Sportsworld" was honored to have 3 of its players selected as the best players of the year:

• Youth Player of The Year, 2004 (Girls) - Anet Kaasik
• Youth Player of The Year, 2004 (Boys) - Jaak Põldma

Our men´s team (V.Ivanov, M.Koppel, A.Angerjärv, T.Jõgi ja R.Seer) was very successful in the Estonian Club Championships, they reached the final. Unfortunately our women´s team was unable to participate this year, due to the busy international tournament schedule (WTA, ITF) of our top players. 2004 was also exceptionaly impressive for our top player, Maret Ani. She made it to the Estonian history books by being the first Estonian female tennisplayer ever to reach the semifinals in the Australian Open (she played doubles with L.Prusova). Maret also had a chance to represent her country (together with Kaia Kanepi)  in the Olympics in Athens.
