Young Phillip Major boosted the Bahamas’ junior tennis image recently by capturing an important event in the Casely International Camps at Florida International University.

Major won the Boys’12 Series No. 10 by beating Canadian Mckenzie Sterns in the final 6-2-, 6-0.

The Bahamian advanced to the final by winning his first round match and then powering through to the final. Japan’s Ryota Tanuma (6-1, 6-1) and Israeli Aderlin Dav (6-1, 6-4) were his respective victims.

The accomplishment by Major is testimony to the depth of young players in the country’s talent pool. Regularly, Bahamian players are doing well on the Florida circuit.

The Casely format entailed 11 consecutive 2-3 day competition camps with a player playing possibly two matches in a day. As indicated by Major’s opponents, the field is made up of lots of internationals. Also the top nations from the United States are always in the mix.

The Casely International Training/competition Package includes non-boarders, boarding groups and individuals. The fee includes registration, five days of training (two hours per day), airport pick-up and drop-off, shared rooms, meals and transportation.
