Matthew’s Cup call

MATTHEW FOSTER-ESTWICK’s play was good enough to win him the BTA Invitational, and now a spot among Barbados’ best.

The country’s next best tennis talent is set tomake his senior national debut next month after predictably getting named in the Davis Cup squad to Paraguay.

Newly appointed captain Damien Applewhaite broke the news yesterday, announcing Foster-Estwick’s inclusion in a team which includes world no.145 Darian King, veteran Davis Cup player Haydn Lewis and Seanon Williams.

“His performance during the Invitational was very convincing, so it’s clear that during this time at college he’s been able to catch up to the more seasoned players because he’s definitely earned his place,”said Applewhaite. (JM)
