\u201cWe know\nour junior players love any opportunity to compete and come together with their\npeers, and we hope the UTR State Performance Championships in each city provide\na strong platform for juniors of all ages to do so in a fun and competitive\nway,\u201d Soyer added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter a\nvery difficult year, we are pleased to be hosting the UTR Junior State\nPerformance Championships in Adelaide this week,\u201d Tennis SA CEO, Debbie\nSterrey<\/strong> said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
