In Saturday December 3 2016, tennis players from the six active tennis clubs in Guyana will serve off their quest to be Trophy Stall Doubles Champion for 2016.
Devi Sunich of Trophy Stall presents the symbolic Doubles Trophies to GLTA executives, Secretary Oswin Coggins and Junior Participation Chair Grace McCalman
Trophy Stall Doubles has established itself as the premier doubles tournament of the calendar year with seven years running. It is the only exclusive doubles tournament on the Guyana Tennis Association’s (GLTA’s) calendar and is an opportunity for seasoned doubles players to take part in one of the most intense forms of the game, which entails a battle of skills, power and speedy hand work at the net.
The categories to be contested are Men’s Doubles, Ladies Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Men’s Over 35 Doubles, Men’s Over 45 Doubles and Novice Medley Doubles.
Proprietor of Trophy Stall, Ramesh Sunich reflected on the support his business received from the tennis community for many years and reinforced his commitment to the development of tennis having seen consistent effort from the association to keep the sport alive. But he expressed concern for the continuous absence of proper state of the art facilities for more tournaments local and international and to attract more coaches and players.
This year will once again showcase high drama as players contend in the last tournament of the year to finish the season strong in hopes of securing their spot at the top of the player ranking table.
Forms are available at the clubs. The Tournament Coordinators are Leyland Leacock (660-4011) and Shelly Daly (642-5672).
All players are required to assemble on Saturday December 3 at 8:30h for the Opening Ceremony of the tournament.
