BARBADOS’ PREMIER EXHIBITION isn’t settling for just holding serve anymore.

Barbados Invitational Tennis Exhibition director Kodi Lewis revealed this as a possible move ahead of the organizers’ post mortem meeting for the just-concluded two-day series.
“I think in the next couple months we have some critical decisions to make for the next exhibition in terms of the players we want to bring down and the format we need to get those players,” said Lewis in a telephone interview with SATURDAY SPORT. (JM)
