Davis Cup – Slovakia:Ukraine – Day 1

/in /by

The 2011 Davis Cup 1st Europe/Africa group play offs brought together teams Slovakia and Ukraine. Both teams lost their previous Davis Cup ties and must win this play off to stay in “the third league” of the most prestigious mens tennis competition. The losing team will descend into 2nd Europe/Africa group. After the first two matches the score is tied 1:1. In the first match Martin Klizan of Team Slovakia defeated Illya Marchenko in four sets 6:7, 6:3, 6:1, 6:3 and in second match Sergiy Sakhovsky of Team Ukraine defeated Pavol Cervenak in three sets 7:5, 6:2, 6:1.

Classics under Stars 2011 – Nabucco

/2 Comments/in /by

Yesterday I had the privilege to attend a wonderful event called Classics under Stars. The basic idea is to bring the opera classics into gardens of beautiful Chateaus located in Czech republic. The opera chosen for this year was Giuseppe Verdi’s “Nabucco”. The biblical story about the inprisonment of Jews in Babylon is one of the best known operas. The performance in Lednice was the last event of this year and I must say it was wonderful. You can see some of the photos I took on my blog: http://hutera.blog.sme.sk/c/273647/Klasika-pod-hvezdami-2011-Nabucco.html

The photos are from small tour, medium tour and big tour competitions. Photos from the event are located on my blog: http://hutera.blog.sme.sk/c/273041/Grand-Prix-Bratislava-2011.html
