Bakewell Junior Tennis Tournament enters second round
The inaugural Bakewell Junior Tournament, which started last weekend at the National Racquet Centre, served off with matches that will allow the Guyana’s top juniors to display their talent and confirm a place in the second round.

National Junior coach Shelly Daly-Ramdyhan, in a release, was very happy for the opportunity through this tournament to evaluate the young players who are training in preparation for the upcoming Inter Guiana Games for tennis which will be held in late October. The Bakewell Tournament, she said, provides the round format for maximum match play, but which also shows how each player copes with the variety of styles played by their opponents.
The players who recently returned from the Caribbean U12 tournament showed tremendous improvement in their determination during matches, some of which lasted up to one hour, which she feels is an advantage gained from their recent experiences competing abroad. She lamented the absence of top seed Afruica Gentle in the Girls U14 category.
Matches continue at the National Racquet Centre this weekend.
