The six-day event launched on Tuesday, will offer the Ghana Tennis Federation (GTF) the platform to select the best athletes for the 2017 Davies Cup and the Commonwealth Games next year.

Speaking at the launch, the President of the GTF Isaac Aboagye Duah mentioned that, his outfit has been struggling for sponsorship from the government and corporate entities without success and however happy Alkamin Mineral Water came to the Federation’s aid to sponsor the event.

According to him, it was a big relief for Alkamin to come on board and thanked the company for the support.

On his part, preparations must get underway including camping the athletes and adequately preparing them to compete at the international front.

The President added that with the government in power, he believes there will be massive support for the least financed sports, where talents will be unearthed and harnessed to represent the country at international competitions.

Awards will be given to athletes who fall between 1-16.

The winner will take home a cash prize of GH?2,000.00 a trophy and products whilst the second bags GH?1,000.00, a trophy plus products from Rock care.

Dr. Antwi Tetteh from Alkamin Mineral Water, pledged his commitment to continue sponsoring the event after yielding results.
