Two Ghana Tennis Federation wheelchair junior players, Emmanuel Amobire and Henry Adjapong, led by coach Philip Plange have departed from Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana, to participate in Ghana’s first ITF International Wheelchair Tennis Juniors Tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The team will first take part in the ITF Johan Cruyff Africa Wheelchair Tennis Training Camp, scheduled for 20th to 22nd September 2024, which will include junior players from about 10 other African countries.
Following the camp, the Ghanaian duo, both aged 15, will compete in the Ithembelihle ITF Junior International Tournament, slated for 23rd to 25th September 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This marks a historic moment as the first Ghanaian wheelchair tennis players to participate in an ITF wheelchair tennis international tournament. They are determined to make the Ghana Tennis Federation and themselves proud by achieving significant success in this groundbreaking event.
The team extends their gratitude to the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Department, the Ghana Tennis Federation Board, and the GTF Wheelchair Tennis Committee for their support, as reported by Henry Larbi, the National Coordinator for GTF Wheelchair Tennis.
