Registration still open ahead of next week’s GBTI tournament
In a week’s time, local lawn tennis players will gather at the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry’s (GBTI’s) tennis courts in the upscale Georgetown ward of Bel Air Park to show off their improved skills in the GBTI Open 2019 tournament.
There is much excitement in the tennis fraternity as the Guyana Tennis Association prepares to serve off the tenth edition of this longstanding tournament, which will take place on Friday, June 7th, 2019 at 5pm.

What is considered one of the most anticipated local tournaments on the Tennis Association’s calendar of events will feature twelve exciting categories. Without a doubt, the ladies’ and men’s Open Singles matches will see keen competition from those who want to keep their winning ways, or those seeking to stamp their names in history.
On the other hand, players will team up with partners who best suit their style and skill to compete in the men’s and ladies’ doubles.
Next Friday, the action starts from 5:00pm, and will continue as such on weekdays. On weekends, the first ball will be served from 9:00am. The tournament coordinators are Shelly Daly, Leyland Leacock and Benjattan Osborne.
Application forms have already been distributed, but those still interested in registration are invited to contact persons who can help them on 642-5672, 660-4011 or 645-6054 respectively.
As the tournament grows annually, the GLTA continues to be grateful to GBTI for the annual sponsorship, as it demonstrates unwavering support for the development of tennis in Guyana.
The 12-category tournament will feature Ladies Open, Men’s Open, Junior Girls’ Open, Junior Boys’ Open, Novice Medley, Men’s Over 35 and Men’s Over 45 tournaments; while the Doubles divisions are the Men’s Open, Mixed Open, Men’s over 35 and Novice Medley.
