Jan 22, 2017
Jordan have been promoted to the first division of the Asian Tennis Championships for Juniors following more success in Bangkok.
Abdullah Shelbayeh followed up his division two singles title last week with another win in the U14s, beating Sri Lanka’s Chathurya Nilaweera 2-0.
Not to be outdone, Jana Al Khateeb reached the final of the girls’ singles, losing to Sri Lanka’s Anglica Kurera, but then teamed up with Lebanon’s Maria Breidy to win the doubles title against Mongolia’s Maralgoo Chogsomjav and Yesugen Ganbataar.
“The results were good enough to secure promotion to play in the first division of the Asian Championships which will be held in India from January 28-February 12,” said Hazim Adas, Jordan Tennis Federation President.
