Carol Humphrey
Insurance Invitational Classic.
The competition, which was created in 2013, was the brainchild of the Surinamese Insurance Company under the management of Dick Wesenhagen who, being an avid tennis player, made a commitment to annually sponsor this special tournament for the top four players in each of the main singles categories, Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles and Men’s Over-35 Singles. The format of the tournament for each category is round robin.
The tournament would be played at the Le Ressouvenir Tennis Club over three weekends; Thursdays – Sundays; but starting tomorrow Friday February 28th and ending on Sunday March 16th.
In Ladies Open Singles the top players are Carol Humphrey, Nicola Ramdyhan, Afruica Gentle and Jamaali Homer. In Men’s Open Singles, Anthony Downes, Leyland Leacock, Gavin Lewis and Daniel Lopes head the list of contenders. In Men’s Over-35, Godfrey Lowden, Carlos Adams, Harry Panday and Rudy Grant will spearhead the title charge.
In a Press Release from the GTA, Assuria under the guidance of new General Manager, Clyde Muntslag, has committed to ensuring that this annual tournament is again successful and that it brings out the best in our advanced players. The tennis fraternity continues to be grateful for sponsorship of a tournament of such high calibre.
The Grand Opening Ceremony for the tournament will be held at the Le Ressouvenir Tennis Club at 5:30pm tomorrow. All players are asked to be present and tennis supporters around the country are asked to come out and support their favourite players and support the development of the sport.
