In their first group stage match at the Island Games in Gotland, Jersey dispatched Bermuda 5-0.
On court, Bermuda's Denzel Simons was no match for Alex Hutchings, who ran out 21-4, 21-7.
That set the trend with Bermuda unable to get into double figures in the ladies singles, and the doubles round that followed.
It's a long road ahead for Jersey, who won gold two year ago, but they've made an excellent start.
Next up are Gibraltar next at 15:00 with the island topping the table advancing to the semi-finals.
Guernsey are also looking strong - they beat Ynys Mon by the same 5-0 margin.
Bero Bobus hopes to reach the Island Games podium again after his bronze at Jersey 2015.
Bobus and Ruben Vieira are first in action at Visborg beach arena from 12:00.
The other Jersey team in the men's event are Andre Fortunato Da Silva and Paul Gartshore.
The women's teams are Nicola Appleton and Kristina Sokic and Luisa Jose da Silva Abreu and Karolina Anna Zablocka.
