Geocache Description:

The last part of the Israeli sports trilogy, is about tennis, which in recent decades saw two golden ages on a national level and a success greater actually than football or basketball


In 1987 the Israeli national team advanced for the first time to the upper tier or world group of Davis Cup, which is 1/8 finals of world championships,

Back then there were two prominent players, the older Shlomo Glickstein and the younger star Amos Mansdorf

In 2007 the team advanced again to the world group and stayed there on and off until 2013, led by Dudi Sela, Amir Weintraub and the world class pair Andy Ram / Yoni Erlich, achieving perhaps the best result of any Israeli national team

Posted coordinates are not of final location, but at the Ramat Hasharon tennis center, which is also the home court of the national team, and used to host in the past an ATP tournament

To find the cache, answer the following Qs:

1/A finals = The best stage the team has reached in Davis Cup

BC = Highest ATP singles ranking a male Israeli reached

Note - about BC: In hebrew there are two contradicting numbers in same page of wiki of that player. Take the lower ranking (or higher number). Or use the english version, or ATP official site.

DE = Highest WTA singles ranking a female Israeli reached

F = number of grand slams won by Andy Ram

G = The world ranking at the time of the Chilean rival of Dudi Sela in the crucial game in 2007 for advancing to world group of Davis Cup
