Sad relegation of the Messina Tennis and Sailing Club which leaves Serie A just two years after having sewn the scudetto on its chest. After drawing the first leg 3-3, the Messina team lost at home 4-1. The absence of Fausto Tabacco, involved in Greece in the final of the 30 thousand dollar tournament, was too heavy. Without a foreigner and without his number 1, there is little left for Coach Vela who has surrendered to Coach Zavaglia of Ravenna. The only point goes to Giorgio Tabacco who fought like a lion, beating Nerman Fatic in two sets. Defeats instead for Fabio Varsalona, ​​Gabriele Bombara and Enrico Egitto. At 3-1 after the singles, the point of salvation for Ravenna came from the doubles made up of Fatic and Caniato who prevailed over Tabacco and Egypt (6-2, 6-4).
