Former coach of 2017 US Open Champion, Sloane Stephens, Roger Smith has praised the attitude of players participating in the Tennis Clinic co-organized by Africa 10 Foundation and the Ghana Tennis Federation.
The two day event is headlined by former United States Tennis Association President Katrina Adams and former coach of 2017 US Open Champions Sloane Stephens, Roger Smith.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports on the sidelines of the first day of the clinic held at the Accra Sports Stadium tennis courts, Smith was delighted with the players’ commitment.
“All these kids can play; what is impressive is their attitude and that’s the beginning of a champion, having the right attitude.”
“These kids are great, there’s a lot of talent here, there’s a lot of talent so with the coaches now understanding and learning how to develop that talent, is the key…and that’s what we are here to do” Smith said.
On his part, coach Joseph Doe-Adjayni stated, “It’s been very educative. Taking the children through [the sessions], we realized a lot of their mistakes and tried to correct and I believe once we are able to take them and use them, they are going to become good players.”
