Veteran tennis player, Sunday Igbinovia, has disclosed that his tennis Academy will be officially opened in October this year.<\/p>\n

Igbinovia who spoke with P.M.NEWS Tennis Special<\/em>, said that the Academy ought to have opened\u00a0 last year but he had been hampered by a couple of challenges.<\/p>\n

He, however promised to ensure that everything works out well for him before October so that his much-anticipated dream of helping young minds hone their skills will be actualised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Academy was billed to open this July but due to some challenges from the arena where we\u2019ll be uaing for it, it has not kicked off yet. But I want to assure you that all the necessary arrangement will be sorted out before October. Then, we\u2019ll be able to float the academy. We intend to use the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, it\u2019s a familiar terrain and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get the place fixed before October, all things being equal\u201d he offered.<\/p>\n

The older sibling of Jonathan Igbinovia also told P.M.NEWS Tennis Special<\/em> that he\u2019ll be embarking on a two-month course in the United States of America to enable him sharpen his skills on how the game is played, especially as it concerns young and upcoming players and make him a better coach before the debut of his project.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cI\u2019ll be in the US for the next two months for a course, to give me a better understanding of the game and the new tricks in the game, especially for the young ones. By the time I return, I should have been better equipped to start the academy on a good footing.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how he intends to get sponsors for the Academy, the former Davis Cup player said: \u201cI\u2019ll have to start first before going to meet anybody for sponsorship. When I have something on ground, I\u2019ll be able to show anybody that wants to help that I have something that they can work on.\u201d<\/p>\n
