THE BARBADOS Davis Cup tennis team has never been more ready for an international assignment.
This confidence was revealed by team captain Damien Applewhaite at a press conference at the Barbados Tennis Association yesterday, ahead of the tie against Guatemala starting Friday.
“I think that this is the best preparation that we have had leading up to a tie ever. We are coming off a good win in Paraguay that was the first away win in Group 2 ever, so the team will use that going into this tie against a very competitive Guatemalan team,” Applewaite said.
He said it will be a tough fight over the next weekend at the National Tennis Centre in Wildey, as Guatemala will alsobe buoyed by their victory over Mexico. (RG)
