when rising star Afruica Gentle takes to the court in the Courts-sponsored Junior Championships which opens tomorrow, at the Non Pariel Racquet Centre on Woolford Avenue.
The young Gentle whose sister Shawna was also a junior champion recently captured her first regional title when she won the Antigua’s Junior Tennis Invitational Girls 12 and under division, beating a strong field from countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada.
The championships will see matches being played in the Under-10, 12, 14 and 18 categories and Gentle along with former National under 12 champion Shivani Persaud, Keenan Persaud, Jordan Beaton and Nicola Ramdyhan will definitely be the main attractions during the two-week event which ends on September 29.
