The establishment of an international tennis training and training center in Morocco, specifically designed for the elite of African tennis, is a significant development for the sport on the continent. The center’s focus on providing training for the super elite players from existing centers in South Africa and Senegal highlights a collaborative effort to elevate the level of African tennis.
The president of the African Confederation of Tennis, Tarack Sherif, emphasizes the importance of playing against stronger opponents for progress, and the new center in Morocco aims to provide such opportunities. By offering a platform for players to participate in tournaments on the continent and potentially in Europe, the center seeks to enhance the overall competitiveness of African tennis.
The sport-study formula integrated into the center’s structure indicates a holistic approach, emphasizing both athletic and academic development for young players aged 14 to 21. Managed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and directed by Amine Benmakhlouf, the center’s establishment reflects the growing attention and support for tennis development in Africa.
