Another exciting week in the world of Bahamian Tennis as our 4-member Fed Cup Team of Iesha Shepherd, Gabriela Donaldson, Sierra Donaldson, and Lauryn Daxon compete in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
The tournament starts tomorrow February 1 2016 where The Bahamas plays Guatemala at 10:00am.
Other participating nations are: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, Honduras, Guatemala Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela. Age
requirement for this event is 14 and over. The team consists of the top
four finishers at the Open Nationals held in December 2015.
This group
of budding stars are accepting the challenge and hope to borrow some
notes from former Fed Cup team winners Larikah Russell, Simone Pratt,
Kerrie Cartwright and Danielle Thompson who captured the win (Americas
Zone II) in 2013 in Santa Tecla, El Salvador.
These tenacious players
are set to put their best efforts forward as they represent The Bahamas
on the international stage. The team is captained by Mr. Ricardo Demeritte seen center in photo.
