Nassau, Bahamas - Young twelve year old tennis player, Dylan Walker
had the golden opportunity to travel courtesy of the Mark Knowles
Celebrity Tennis Invitational to New Providence to participate in the
'Hit with the Pros' segment of the exhibition on Saturday, December 5th
at the Bahamas National Tennis Center.
Stephen Turnquest, BLTA President, said that they wanted
to include some representation from islands other than New Providence
as so often they get neglected due to travel expenses etc and he is
extremely grateful that the MKCTI is underwriting their airfares.
The photos seen here were taken by Dylan's mother, and the following is a personal thank-you note from Dylan Walker of Eleuthera.

Dear Mark Knowles Invitational,
It was a pleasure to meet you over the week-end. I wanted to share my photographs that my mom took of me with Mark Knowles and Anna-Lena Groenefeld. Maybe you can use it in the paper and express my thanks to the organization for giving me the opportunity to participate in the activities of hitting with some
of the best players in the world, especially our very own Mark Knowles.
He is for me a role model and has encouraged me as a tennis player to
'dream big'.
Thank you!
Dylan Walker
12
year old Dylan Walker is a student of Central
Eleuthera
High School and has been playing tennis since he was 5 years
old.
