Tennis coach Roger Smith has touched down in Ghana to headline a series of tennis clinics with the aim of promoting tennis development and youth development in Ghana and the former ATP Top 100 player has stated that he is passionate about building coaches and players.
He said this in a presser prior to leading a coaching seminar and clinic with young players put together by Africa10 Foundation (A10) and the Ghana Tennis Federation.

“Building has always been a passion of mine…Hopefully we can leave these coaches and the Federation with some great experience.”
