Sports Bulletin Report Cairo (Egypt): South Africa, who went into the tournament with only one full-time professional and were predicted to finish 12th, beat that prediction by three places. After beginning their campaign with a 3-0 defeat to No.3 seeds England and a narrow 2-1 loss to Hong Kong, China, South Africa won all four of their remaining matches, recording straight-match wins over Ukraine and Switzerland and 2-1 wins against nine-time champions Australia and Japan. The achievements of the week, led to South Africa being recognised as the Team of the Tournament at the prize ceremony at Madinaty Sporting Club. Paul Atkinson, South Africa's coach, reflected on the achievement: "I think for us, winning this particular award is very special. Typically, South Africans have always been pretty strong in the team events, both at the Men's and the Women's World Teams, because we come from a rich team tradition from the Jarvis and Kaplan Cup, which has been played in our country for the last 55 years. "So, we're used to playing in these teams environments and we thrive on it. But at the same time, none of our players are full-time professionals except for Alex Fuller. So we were always going to be under pressure against the other sides when three of our players play part-time and two of them are mothers with two and four kids each. "For us to come together as a team and really gel and play so well during the week together and then finish three positions higher than we were seeded, that's something we're very happy with. I think it came down to a real team effort with our reserve playing two matches and winning them both, and her being the youngest in the team. "I think, when you have people who do not play full time and they put in a lot of sacrifices and give up a lot of things in order to train really hard to participate in a team event like this, and then the results show [the reward], I think it's extremely satisfying and very proud for us as a small country. "It means a fantastic amount to the girls and to the people back home who have helped fund us and get us to the World Team Championships."

Sports Bulletin Report Cairo (Egypt): Although Egypt have won their fifth WSF Women’s World Team Championship title last week, they were far from the only team to record an impressive achievement at the tournament, which successfully returned after four years away due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the Madinaty Sporting Club, Japan were one of a number of teams that impressed, with the Asian nation finishing 10th, one place higher than their previous best. While every member of the Japan team made a valuable contribution, one name stood out repeatedly: Satomi Watanabe. The World No.33 had been making a name for herself on the PSA World Tour recently, with excellent showings at the New Zealand Open and Hong Kong Open, but in Cairo that talent was on full display to the watching world. In a commendable personal achievement, the Japan No.1 won every single one of the six matches she played, with Melissa Alves, Aifa Azman, Emilia Soini, Donna Lobban, Cindy Merlo and Alexandra Fuller all falling to the 23-year-old. In recognition of her form in Egypt, Watanabe was awarded the Most Valuable Player [MVP] of the tournament at the championship closing ceremony. Speaking on the recognition, Watanabe said: “I’m really happy to be awarded! It means a lot for me and I could never have done it alone, so I really appreciate my teammates and those who supported me.” The Yokohama native admits that, although she and her team are proud of what they achieved, they are unapologetic in their ambitions and are setting their sights on improvement in 2023. “It’s always a good experience to play in the Women’s World Teams and I think this was the closest chance the team has had to make it into the top eight. I’m gutted not to make it through but there are so many positives to take for me and the team. We’re all really looking forward to playing again in two years!” Watanabe said. At just 23 years of age, Watanabe will no doubt have plenty of opportunities to help Japan build on their achievement in Egypt. Expect plenty more to come from Japan’s breakout star.
