ITF Masters World Team Championship in Tokyo 2024 supported by SENKO is a tournament in which eight men’s countries and eight women’s countries compete for victory in a tournament format. The tournament will be decided by two singles matches and one doubles match for both men and women.
For the Japanese men, professional golfers Goichi Motomura, Naoki Arimoto, Katsushi Fukuda, and Takahiro Terachi formed a team and worked hard to win the championship. They defeated France 2-0 in the first round and Germany 2-0 in the semi-finals, advancing to their first final.
In his first singles match, Terachi lost to F. Baena (Spain) in straight sets, 2-6, 4-6. Japan will be left behind.
In the second singles match, Motomura clashed with R. Ferre (Spain), who has extensive experience winning world championships and is said to be the strongest player over 45 years old. Motomura won the first set 6-4, but the second set was 5-7, and in the final set he was caught up from a 4-0 lead and went to a tie-break. In the end, they were tied 6-8 and lost with a final score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-7 (6-8).
After the match, Motomura said, “I think we were able to show Japan’s strength by participating for the first time.I don’t know yet, but if I get another offer, I’d like to play, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been under pressure every game.” , It was refreshing to be able to play with the mindset of trying to do something, and it reminded me of things I had forgotten. It’s most frustrating to lose in the end, but I think I did what I could.” .
The team competition ends on the 22nd. The individual tournament will be held at Ariake Tennis Forest from the 23rd to the 30th.
