Michelle, a Korean international who shares a great passion and enjoyment for the game of tennis. She is arguably one of the best ladies player in WTFC League and has experience playing in a couple of tournaments back in her hometown. An intelligent player, whom easily able to vary her shot selection to her opponent's hitting style and exploit their weaknesses.

She see no difficulty holding her own against many of the guys playing in WTFC and certainly not any push over. If you play against Michelle, beware of her powerful ground strokes and never think it is gonna be an easy ride!

Michelle's winning asset is still her great accuracy and power serves that Aces across her opponents. She's packed with speed and stamina too, and she uses this with good effect to set up winners from her groundstrokes.

Match of The Week - Emoki Nakajima Against Tony Permal (Preview)

Oh my goodness! Emoki Vs Tony Permal.
This certainly going to be the Match of the Week or probably the Match of the Season ya. I'll definitely free up myself this weekend to be there to watch this match. *excited* ^_^

I hope Emoki will win. haha. But Tony is just too strong, he has beaten Emoki in the 1st Round and still unbeaten since he joined the league. This expatriate from France has been bullying us since match 1, someone please stop him! lol.

If there is to be someone who can stop him to win the title this year, I believe Emoki will be one of them. Sebastian - Another killer, Ronny aka Pete Sampras of WTFC or Kenji Tahoma - 3 lungs man. Just too bad the later 3 are in the different zones so they won't be meeting each other until the Master League.

So Emoki, please do the killing ya! <333 haha.

Grismond is a student with MDIS majoring in Business Administration. At 15, he is already junior representative for STA. Plague with elbow injuries which forces him into exile from tennis for 2 yrs. Now, back with a vengence this year, he already shows great potential and no sign of a once injury plague player with his solid ground strokes and power play off the forehand and backhand sides.

He also has a formidable big serves and will throw it up now and then. As a lefty, his favourite player is Nadal and emulates around that Spaniard style of play. Being a great fan of Kira & Emoki, you would see them sparring with each other even after a tough fought match.

A promising young player to watch and could poised the threat as the title contender in days to come.

Kira is a Tennis Dictator in his own world. He is always calm, composed and never shows much emotions. Nothing really bothers or frustrates him. I personally likes to watch Kira play as he has a wonderful array of shots. He reads game so well that before you notice it, he has already made you his next puppet.

Being tall, he make used of every opportunities to come up to the net and win points. His main weapon would be his serve that is often placed with great accuracy and offensive play.He plays a very traditional game with a single handed backhand, great serve and nice ground strokes.

A worthy opponent on the tennis courts, he can easily vary his game to suite different styles of play and can easily adapt to changing situations. Begin with a slow start into the season and the dictatorship is getting back right on time for the 2nd half of the season.

Young, Confident, All-Rounder with Precision landing shots. Hidden behind his innocent smile, the Tennis Prince of WTFC and 2007 Master League Winner, have killer ground strokes which any opponent would certainly fear playing against.

Emoki can play with either hands. Which leaves him almost no backhand weakness which majority of the players will experience. Gifted with astounding pace and precision shots, he can make any opponent scrambling from one end of the court to the other before hitting the winner.

Talented and aspiring, Emoki aim is to win the Master League and finish as the Top Rank Player. Every match he plays, he evolves better. I can only foresee him getting better over the years since he is still so young. Should always be see as the title contender as long as he play in the league.

Aki is a Newcomer in the league and also a Full-Time Communications Student with SIM. Aki picked up his tennis from Emoki only a couple of months back and is already hitting some surprises in his debut season.

Aki’s greatest strength is his never say die attitude and the willing to take risk. He has great potential to evolve into one of the best players in the league and was nickname Emoki Jr. Being group together with the 'Emperor' - Sebastian and the 'Samurai' - Kenji Tahoma, Aki is really playing to his best to stay within the top half of the table.

However, I am sure that we will see more of Aki flamboyant style of play in order to compete in the so call toughest table among the 4 zones.

Ronny plays a solid serve and volley game with excellent ground strokes. He is extremly deadly at the net and very comfortable with overhead smashes. His well time volley and quickness to the net always kept his opponent wondering they are playing against a training wall.

Ronny is an instrumental captain for the North as well as the Dream Team and plays the game with a calm and collected approach to the game of tennis that deserved his place as a regular in the Dream Team. We hope to see more of Ronny playing more competitive inter-clubs friendly matches with the Dream Team.
