Serious Celebrations Partner Tahl Leibovitz and
World Champion Judah Friedlander “Get Serious!”
with Sports Illustrated

Table Tennis prodigy and Partner of Serious Celebrations, Tahl Leibovitz has a very good chance of winning $100,000 thanks to World Champion Judah Friedlander conceding at the upcoming Hardbat Ping Pong Tournament in Vegas sponsored by Anheuser-Busch.

NEW YORK, NY (June 05, 2009) – When Tahl Leibovitz is not busy promoting his talents with Corporate Table Tennis exhibitions through Serious Celebrations, Inc., he is out honing his incredible skills so it comes as no surprise that Mr. Leibovitz recently won a trip to Vegas to play the first ever Bud Light Hardbat Ping Pong Tournament!

Sports Illustrated recognizes Tahl’s unique talent and potential in a video recently aired on SI.com with Tahl Leibovitz and World Champion Judah Friedlander.  Leibovitz already had a competitive edge with his distinctive style but he still felt a lot of pressure until Friedlander put him at ease when announcing he was banned from playing the sport.  “If I were to enter it, I’m going to win so everyone will bet on me and Vegas loses money so I’m banned from playing any sport in Vegas,” said Friedlander.  World Champion Judah Friedlander is also banned internationally because he smashes the ball too hard.

“Since he’s not playing, I have a really good shot,” says Leibovitz.  Not only does he have a good shot but now he has an advantage as Judah Friedlander is going to help Tahl win!  The World Champion said, “I like to eat pizza when I play and official tournaments don’t allow that so I just say screw it and I don’t play.  I’m going to help Tahl win it….to help Tahl train, I just give him motivational support and I show him videos of me playing and he just gets better.”  Indeed Mr. Leibovitz agrees saying, “Judah trains me, he kind of keeps me sharp.”  “

Leibovitz is undoubtedly sharp and proves this time and time again by being an integral part of Serious Celebrations’ team.  Leibovitz offers coaching, training techniques and corporate exhibitions through SC.  According to Leibovitz, “it’s a great game because you can’t really get injured physically, it’s great exercise and helps you intellectually…it’s like playing chess and running at the same time.  We need people to realize that it’s a real sport.”  A group of sports and entertainment marketers is betting ping pong will be the next game to sweep the nation according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.
