Guyana’s Junior Lawn Tennis players, who participated in the World Junior Lawn Tennis Under – 14 Tournament in the Dominican Republic, finished 14th following the conclusion of the championships last weekend.
Guatemala were declared winners of the 16-nation tournament while the hosts placed second.
The local contingent of Vaedenand Resaul, Nigel Lowe and Wayne Baker of the Sheltez Tennis Club Guyana, in their final match lost to Barbados, a team they had beaten in the first round of the championships, 1-2 which pushed them further down the pecking order.
Despite the final placement, Coach Shelly Daly, who had hoped for a good showing at the championships, told Stabroek Sport that she was pleased with the efforts by the players.
