“The cash prizes are in the form of education grants to the players, though, because we don’t give out cash to junior players. All of these will be alongside gift items, of course, and trophies, for the winners and runners-up in all the categories,” he said.
The junior Tennis coach added that the players will be given the best hospitality in this year's edition.
“We’re not lodging them at the Stadium this year, it is a different arrangement altogether better than ever, they’re going to be lodged in Lekki, precisely Comfort Court Apartment in Richmond Estate, Ikate – Lekki, and they’ll be given their meals in the same apartment.
