I’m seeing more and more articles on local tennis talents cropping up in broadsheets, like this one:
Young Filipino sensation Leander Lazaro downed Japan’s Kenta Hashimoto, 6-3, 6-3, Thursday to retain the boys’ 16-under title in the 20th Andrada Cup age-group tennis championships at the Olivarez Sports Complex.
The lanky, 15-year-old Lazaro, also the defending 18-under champion, overwhelmed the visitor after organizers moved the venue from the open-air Rizal Memorial Tennis Center due to intermittent rains. Read the article here.
I hope this is the start of something big. I would love it if we had regular representatives in the major tournaments and Grand Slams, like the Japanese and Chinese.
