The Annual Royal Palm Tennis and Squash competitions for 2010 will get underway here at Royal Palm Tennis and Squash courts from Monday (today). A total of 110 entries have been received from intending eligible participants while most of them possess suitably appreciable skills in tennis and squash.
There are some who appear as the young ones likely to dominate the top positions, a spokesman of the Club said on Sunday. In squash, players like Omer Salamat, Junaid Ahmed, Junaid Ashraf Khwaja have won accolades in the past also and the likely threat is going to come from at least a dozen challengers who have geared up their stamina and skills and are now capable of lasting the full stretch of five games if the match goes to the limit.
As for tennis, quite a few players have spent considerable time getting ready for this big occasion and out of the 30 who make up the main group of prominent participants the powerful serves will come from Khurram Aman, Madih Umair, Hassan Farid, Hamza Shah and Sheryar Salamat.
