… will play Dominican Republic today
NATHAN DeNobrega and Elwyn Levius have reached the Main Draw at this year’s Central American and Caribbean Tennis Confederation (COTECC)/ITF U-12 tournament in the Dominican Republic.
Behind coach Shelly Daly-Ramdyhan, the two players are so-far undefeated in the tournament.
After breezing through Barbados and Haiti, DeNobrega and Levius returned yesterday to make light work of their counterparts from the USVI, winning both matches in straight sets.
DeNobrega defeated Croix Nelthropp 6-4, 6-3, while Levius had the better of Weston Wagne 6-0, 6-0.
The duo then returned in the Doubles to defeat the USVI pair of Henry Collins and Nelthropp 6-2, 6-4.
According to the team’s coach, yesterday’s performance puts them in a position to play in the semi-finals of the Main Draw, adding “we will have to play our match against the Dominican Republic to see where we would end-up in the Main Draw tomorrow.”
This is the second time in the Boys’ U-12 division of the tournament that Guyana have reached the Main Draw, the first being in 2017.
Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Bermuda and St Lucia are the other teams in the tournament.
