It is great to see our local talent spreading their wings and competing on an international level in the United States and in Europe.  This year we have seen many Bahamain college tennis athletes performing well and helping their teams to obtain great success.  Our juniors have also made their mark internationally. We will continue to develop the sport of tennis as more of our athletes shine and blaze the way forward .
