With the West Pacific Junior Tournament coming up in Fiji, the Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited (KPHL) PNG Tennis Team is getting ready for what should be an exciting competition.
The tournament which starts on the 1st of April, and with only a week to go, the team has stepped up their training under the direction of seasoned trainers, concentrating especially on match-play to hone their abilities and increase their self-assurance on the court.
Players from Port Moresby and Lae showcased their skills at the KPHL PNG Junior Tennis Championships, which were held in late February in Port Moresby, as part of the tough selection process for the coveted competition.
The national representative team was assembled with elite talent willing to represent their nation internationally after outstanding results at the championships.
PNG Tennis is taking care of all the logistics for the team’s lodging and travel while they are in Fiji, so the players and coaching staff will have an easy time.
The team will be accompanied by two committed coaches, and every element of their time in Fiji is planned out to ensure the best possible performance on the courts.
The team’s expectations and main goals are very clear as they get ready to start this thrilling journey.
Many of the juniors are competing in this event for the first time against peers from throughout the West Pacific, which gives them a useful indicator of their ability level and a chance to move up the rankings.
Furthermore, placing in the top two is critical since it would ensure that they represent the prestigious West Pacific Team at the Pacific Oceania Junior Championships in June.
The KPHL PNG Tennis Team is ready to make an impression at the West Pacific Junior Tournament in Lautoka, demonstrating the skill and tenacity that characterize Papua New Guinea’s emerging tennis scene, as excitement and motivation mount.
The West Pacific Junior Tournament will run for six days, starting on Monday 1st of April and ending on Saturday 06th of April, 2024.
