KENINGAU: Good rapport among tennis associations, clubs and academies is vital for the development of the game in Sabah, according to Taren Sunil Manoharan, President of Kelab Tenis Remaja Sandakan (KTRS).

He was speaking to eager tennis parents and supporters at the 2nd leg of the Sabah Junior Tennis Tour organised by Sabah Tennis Association.

“When our kids themselves are excited and can’t wait to go for their tennis lessons and games, half the battle is won,” said Taren Sunil.

“I am confident that playing in tournaments will whet their appetite for even more tennis. I foresee much progress will be achieved with respect to the popularity of the game here in Sabah,” he said.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Among those present was Cikgu Mohd Rasyid Abd Ghani, founder and coach of Jomtenis Academy based in Keningau.

He took the initiative to set up a tennis academy in Keningau and has kept it going for 13 years using his own funds.

The academy currently has around 30 kids of various ages under his tutelage.  

“I give credit to those people who start from scratch and take up the challenge of actually setting up a club or academy to promote and teach the game,” said Taren Sunil.
