ITFWORLD SPRING 2014 7 www.itftennis.com There was plenty of activity in spite of extreme weather in some regions, with the Swiss Tennis Federation organising a beach tennis demonstration on snow in the spectacular mountain setting of Wengen, while those at the Manitoba provincial tennis association in Canada took to a tennis court in freezing temperatures and played in two feet of snow. In Kenya, 100 school children and 11 wheelchair athletes from Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria joined together to play Tennis10s on the smaller Red courts, introducing many of the children to tennis for the first time. Other school-based activities took place in countries such as Argentina, which arranged Tennis10s activities for 300 children on the Avenida 9 de Julio (one of the largest roads in the world), Brazil, Cambodia, Ecuador, Guyana, Poland and Yemen, while many other nations got into the spirit of the day. "We were delighted with the success of the second annual World Tennis Day," said ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti. "We were especially happy to see even more nations involved this year and we look forward to working in partnership with StarGames to make the 2015 World Tennis Day an even bigger event."
