as a team, and second, only men can be participants in this championship. so, 
our tennis team played against Australia.
I will tell you about our tennis team. This year the Uzbekistan representatives 
were Denis Istomin, Farrukh Dustov, Sarvar Ikromov and Timur Ismailov. They 
have presented our country perfectly. Do you know why? Because they have a 
strong and friendly team. each member of this team gets on well with the other 
members. They always support each other in difficult situations, and this is very 
important in group work.
