THE Bahamas Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA) has fielded two more talented teams for competition at the under-12 competition in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The teams have started competition with a bang, winning 3-0 on the girls’ side and tied one all on the boys’ side. The girls team, which is seeded number 2, consists of Marina Bostwick, Danielle Saunders, Ellie Nash and Coach Paula Whitfield. The girls faced the host nation Dominican Republic on day one yesterday.
Saunders and Bostwick both won their singles and the duo of Saunders and Nash put another win for Team Bahamas. On the boys side the team is tied one all against Bermuda. The Bahamas team consists of Kingston Rees, Harrison Van Onselen, Oliver Van Onselen and Coach Marvin Rolle.
Van Onselen won in a three-set thriller and Rees fought hard but lost his singles. It will come down to the doubles which is delayed due to the rain in Santo Domingo.
At the opening ceremony, Bostwick was selected to read the player’s pledge. The BLTA wishes the team all the best as they continue to play strong.
