MAKATI--In an effort to discover the country's next big local tennis sensations, Globe Telecom partners with Head Philippines in staging the 17th Head Graphene XT Junior Tennis Satellite Circuit which will feature prestigious tennis tournaments for young Filipino tennis players at 17 key cities nationwide from Mar. 10 until June 7.
Globe Telecom vice president for mobile cluster sales Albert Tinio, Head Philippines/Dynamics Sports Corporation managing director Liza Yuguico, and Philippine Tennis Association (PHILTA) representative Chris Cuarto graced the pre-event press conference held on Wednesday at Contis Restaurant.
"Because of their love for tennis, Globe would like to make inroads in the said sport through our team-up with Head Philippines on the Junior Tennis Satellite Circuit," said Tinio.
"It is our mission to make Head Junior Tennis Satellite Circuit the springboard for up and coming players. We are aiming to produce from our very own ‘backyard’ the first Filipino tennis player who will play for the Olympics,” added Yuguico.
