adidas partners with WP to develop junior tennis

The Western Province Junior Tennis Masters tournament, WP’s flagship junior tournament that is sponsored by adidas SA, took place 29 November-1 December. Even Cape Town’s wind, which had been blowing persistently over the preceding days, took a breather and allowed for a lovely sunny tennis-filled final day.

2013 is the first year that adidas SA partners with Western Province Tennis for their junior tournament. “We are excited to be involved in assisting the development of future talent in this niche sports category and are looking forward to growing the relationship with South African tennis bodies going forward,” said Gugu Ntuli of adidas SA.

As part of their involvement, adidas also arranged for a mixed doubles exhibition match to take place, which was enjoyed by the spectators.

The Junior Masters tournament aims to help develop the youngsters’ tennis skills while at the same time affording them the opportunity to participate in events – with the aim of them hopefully one day participating in international events.
