This weekend I had the honor of winning the Swedish Championships in tennis together with my teammates.  We have a great team consisting of five active players,  a few more are being added, who fought fall and spring to reach the team playoffs.  Our team, TSK Malmen,  has been extremely successful during the past eight years or so and won numerous championships together but this year was especially difficult with tough competition and (as usual) some injuries.

I don't talk so much about tennis on my site so most readers probably don't know that I used to play tennis professionally for many years.  I retired in the late 90's, played little during some years but started playing actively again in 2004.  Since then I've won a few Swedish Championships with my teammates and also continued to play in the professional league in  Germany.  I'll likely play in Germany this summer as well, it will then be my eight summer there.

Many of the players in our league have played tennis on a very high level.  College tennis in U.S., ATP tournaments, money tournaments, and in also play in the German league. The players on my team are no exception.  We've got a very strong team.  Mikael is probably the strongest one with results like victories over former wold number one Magnus Larsson.

Below are two clips of the simple victory ceremony. First clip is short and only with the handsome (yeah right) winners.  Second clip is longer and includes all four of the playoff teams.
