Two Pacific Oceania Players, Colin Sinclair (NMI) and Abigail Tere-Apisah(PNG) have been selected to receive a 2019 International Player Grand Slam Grant financed by the Grand Slam Development Fund (GSDF). The programme is now in its 3rd year and this is the 3rd consecutive year that Abigail Tere-Apisah has received this grant.
This grant is intended as a contribution towards their competition-related costs, with the aim of helping them to develop as professional tennis players and compete in Grand Slam Tournaments. The GSDF considers specific age, ranking and regional representation criteria when making decisions on which players should receive grants with both Pacific Oceania players deemed to show exceptional potential and will go a long way towards helping both players reach their potential and become stars of the future
