JUAN Paolo Cansino of Davao City will join a three-member Philippines tennis team to the World Junior Tennis Competition 2008 Asia/Oceania Qualifying Event on April 14 to 19 at the East Lake Tennis Club in Shenzhen, China.
Cansino, RP's number 2 in the 14 under boys, and a student of the Ateneo de Davao University, was nominated by Philippine Tennis Association (Philta) president Luis Antonio Mendoza to join the team along with number 1 Arjohn dela Cruz and number 3 Enrique Ferrer.
They're required to arrive in Shenzhen, China according to a tournament fact sheet furnished to Sun.Star Davao recently.
Cansino, who bagged the boys 14 under title in the just-concluded Davao leg of the 2008 Head Penn Junior Satellite Circuit at the Ecoland Phase 4 Tennis Club courts, and his teammates will be accommodated at the Shenzhen East Lake Hotel just 50 meters away from the playing venue.
The participants will also be tendered with free meals during the entire duration of the hard court netfest that will use Dunlop balls.
This will be the first time for Cansino to play in an international tournament as prestigious as the World Junior Tennis qualifying where Dabawenyo Ralph Kevin Barte is already considered a veteran. (MLSA)
