TZ mulls Fed Cup return

Sports Reporter

TENNIS Zimbabwe president Regis Bhunu has said they are considering to return to the Fed Cup as they believe there are upcoming players with the potential to compete at that level. The Fed Cup is the premier international team competition in women’s tennis and Zimbabwe has not competed since 2008. Bhunu said they are considering to enter the event next year and are working on securing sponsorship to ensure Zimbabwe’s participation becomes a reality.

“It’s still work in progress. We are contemplating entering the event because we believe now we have the strength to play at the Fed Cup. But we still need to make sure we get a sponsor. If we find someone to take it we are ready to go because in terms of capability of playing at that level we have it.

“We wanted to enter next year but we are still trying to see if we can get takers. But we will try to push.

“The worst scenario is if we can’t enter next year we will enter the following year. We need around $15 000,” said Bhunu.
