Tennis Feasting
Needless to say that the Tournament was breaking its own record! To imagine 1000 oranges, 1000 queen cakes and 200 kgs of bananas for the children! Incredible. It is the only tournament children failed to finish the food. Thumbs up once more to the generous sponsors. You made a difference for the junior players!
