The curtains have come down on another exhilarating and highly-contested Guyana Tennis Association (GTA) One Guyana Open tournament, which had been contested over the last fortnight.
The biggest tennis event ever contested in Guyana has seen participation of 43 players from six singles categories, and a record-number of 13 players participating in the Men’s Novice Singles.
Afruica Gentle and Gavin Lewis have successfully defended their singles titles to become back-to-back champions at the GTA One Guyana Open, and have each earned themselves G$400,000 in prize money.
This esteemed tournament has been the first in local tennis history to offer high incentives to the winners and rewards to players who reached at least the quarterfinals.
The GTA has said it continues to collaborate with the National Sports Commission (NSC); the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS); the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), and by extension with the Government of Guyana, in promoting and developing tennis throughout Guyana.
