Guyana’s top doubles Tennis players are looking forward to this weekend’s serve off of the
Annual Trophy Stall Doubles Tournament which is scheduled for 8:30am today at the National Racquet Centre.
GTA’s PRO Jamal Goodluck received the symbolic trophy from Devi Sunich on behalf of Trophy Stall as she recounted the good relations that the Trophy Stall has enjoyed with the Tennis Association over the years and expressed the intention of the company to continue its support for tennis and sports development. Mr. Goodluck noted that the tournament has become the feature doubles event on the GTA’s calendar with 34 registered participants in 2014. However, the association feels that participation will increase substantially as more tennis facilities and clubs evolved since clubs have more recreational players who predominantly play doubles. This is evident in the fifth annual event which now features players who were once in the Novice Categories just over 3 years ago.
Once again spectators will be treated to keen competition in the Men’s Open Doubles Category as shared 3 times Men’s Doubles Champions Jason Andrews and Anthony Downes have split their partnership in this tournament. This creates a more leveled playing field as Downes will partner with top veteran, Harry Panday and Andrews partners with top junior, Daniel Lopes.
They hope to pose a great threat to defending champions, Nicolas Fenty and Leyland Leacock.
The tournament will be coordinated by coaches Leyland Leacock and Andre Erskine.
Most matches will be played at the National Racquet Centre, however, some matches will be played at Nash and Le Ressouvenir Tennis Clubs. All players and officials are asked to assemble at the National Racquet Centre by 8:15am today.
