Friday 9th October was the start of the CF Tennis Tournament Calendar. The Handicap Advantage Singles Event started at 8.30am with almost 50 children participating.
The tournament is available for all standards and allows a handicap system to balance out the level of each player.
For new tournament players or first timers this is a great progressive system to start playing in the bigger events. For those more advanced players it’s a great way to practice their consistency and try out new tactics. Throughout the morning there were close matches between most players with both advanced level and intermediate\beginner level winning matches and progressing through to the knock out stages.
Eventually the final lined up with Adham Hesham Gabr against Louis Al Arab. The winner by 4-0 was Adham but he had to play some solid tennis to defeat Louis.
All in all a great first tournament and already these two players have started the build up of ranking points towards winning the French Open 2010 trip in May.
This Friday, October 16th is The CF Tennis Junior Series Tournament. Looking forward to seeing you there !!!
