China's Ruoyu Hua and Ghana's Gwendolyn Duvor Klu have been crowned boys' and girls' singles champions respectively at the opening week of the J30 Accra – ITF World Tennis Junior Tour.
One of the major changes this year is the introduction of a round-robin format. Players have been divided into eight groups of four, with each group winner advancing to the single-elimination quarterfinals.
This format guarantees every player a minimum of three matches, providing valuable competitive experience and more opportunities for young athletes to develop.

For four weeks, the Ace National Tennis Camp was ongoing in Accra. 60 select juniors in the 10 & Under and 14 & Under categories were put through drills and various match simulations to prepare them for the future. The camp featured 8 local coaches and 1 guest ATP coach from Romania. Tennis is a sport built on a foundation of precision, discipline, and relentless drive. For young athletes eager to elevate their game, the right developmental environment changes everything. Across Ghana, the intersection of historic sporting venues and visionary program management is creating unprecedented opportunities for junior players.
The future of African tennis took center stage as young athletes showcased remarkable talent, resilience, and sportsmanship. Hosted under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Confederation of African Tennis (CAT), the 12 & Under African Junior Teams' Competition (AJC) Western Zone qualifiers in Ghana brought together the brightest young prospects from the sub-region.
The impact of Rob and Dea Pulver's visit to Ghana continued beyond Accra as the pair paid a courtesy call on the Tennis Foundation Ghana (TFG) programme in Ntranoa, meeting our young players and resident coach and getting a closer look at the foundation's work in the community and the homegrown stakeholders who make our programme a possibility.
Less than 2 years since its inception, the Tennis Foundation Ghana academy is making waves on the national scene now more than ever. As the dust settles on the just-ended Whitray National Junior Tournament, that sound carries a deeper resonance for the youngsters representing the Tennis Foundation Ghana (TFG) Academy. Walking off the courts with heads held high, they captivated the tournament, turning heads with a masterclass in resilience, grit, and sportsmanship.
Team Ghana's campaign at the Billie Jean King Cup Africa Group III in Gaborone proved to be an inspiring showcase of grit, teamwork, and high-stakes tennis. Entering the tournament as unseeded underdogs, the squad known as the Diamond Rackets and led by coach Bernard Ashitey Armaah faced tough continental competition spanning round-robin ties and placement brackets.
The Golden Rackets have officially earned a promotion to the Davis Cup Africa Group III. The team secured their spot after a dramatic comeback performance at the Africa Group IV tournament held at the Nairobi Club.
