Nic Roldan and Jared Zenni* will start living one of the most important months of their lives this month. With the Palermo Open starting, they both will play the most important polo tournament in the world for the first time, both with different goals. Nic plays for Albertina Abu Dhabi, with Francisco Elizalde, Ignacio Toccalino and Alfredo Cappela. They will be playing in Group B, which they share with Ellerstina, Las Monjitas, Cria Yatay and La Cañada. Their first goal is to finish in the top four, and while it is certainly a tough goal, the second option is to finish in the top seven overall to qualify for next year's Hurlingham and Palermo.

Jared Zenni is playing for La Cañada with his friend Agustin Obregon, along with Ezequiel Martinez Ferrario and Sebastian Merlos. They are a brand new team, and their goal is to win at least one match in the tournament. One victory would allow them to begin hoping for a chance to qualify for next year's tournament. Having two players in Palermo is huge for American polo. And there is a plus; just like in Hurlingham, La Albertina and La Cañada will face off on the first weekend of competition. Which is to say, Nic and Jared will play against each other on Sunday, November 18, 2018. A historic day for American polo.
