TOP tennis players from around the continent are battling for points in the Confederation of African Tennis (CAT) Under-14 tournament that started at Bulawayo Country Club on Sunday.
The competition comes a week after the Under-12 regional competition at the same venue last week sponsored by Ingwebu Breweries.

Southern Africa nations have also fielded their best players in that age-group. We thank Ingwebu who are a big contributor to the smooth running of this event and the one we had last week,” said Nhokwara.
