Singapore Tennis Association tennis trials held back

SINGAPORE - The first step in the search for a future Singapore tennis star has been pushed back by a day due to the recent air controllers' strike in Madrid.

The Singapore Tennis Association (STA) had planned to hold a two-day trial starting today at Keppel Club to select two talented juniors who will be funded to the tune of $250,000 each to train and compete full-time, in the hope they will go on and turn professional and join the men's ATP Tour or women's WTA Tour.

A seven member panel was set up to make the selection, with Madrid Tennis Federation (MTF) technical director Tati Rascon to chair the panel.

However, Rascon and his two-man team were unable to fly out of Spanish capital two days ago when local air controllers went on strike.
