| Oh and Cao on form in Manila |
Chan Yeong Oh (KOR) and Si-Qi Cao (CHN) dominated the boys’ and girls’ events respectively at the ITF 14 and under Development Championships at the Rizal Tennis Center in Manila on 5-16 March. The two players won both the tournaments they contested, while China, P.R. claimed the inaugural challenge trophy ahead of Korea, Republic.
It was the first time the Philippines Lawn Tennis Association (PHILTA) had organised an ITF 14 and under Division 1 Development Championships. The competition attracted the best 14 and under Asian juniors with players from Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan making up the ITF Division 2 team, while the Central Asian Team was comprised of juniors from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
Ajay Pathak, Vice President of PHILTA, said: “This is just the first step and the start of bigger and better things for Philippines tennis. I feel this championship has generated excitement and motivated more young children to take up the game more seriously. PHILTA now looks forward to forging a stronger relationship with the ITF by organising more ITF development events as well as entry level professional events.” Complete results are available on www.itftennis.com/development.
