The Italian national, who now calls the City of Oaks home, was impressed by the standard of tennis on display throughout the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need more of these kinds of tournaments in Stellenbosch and more players from other countries to visit our shores, so that our local players can test themselves,\u201d Coppini said. \u201cIf there\u2019s more of these interactions, perhaps our players can push up their playing levels.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The J30 Winelands Week 2 Junior International Tennis Foundation (ITF) tournament is currently underway at the same venue, and is scheduled to conclude tomorrow (Friday 8 December).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor JC Anthony, Mayoral Committee member for Youth, Sport and Culture, was impressed by the organisation of the tournament, saying Coppini had brought a \u201cnew flair\u201d to coaching tennis in Stellenbosch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI sincerely support these developmental initiatives, as they present youths of all walks of life with opportunities to grow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs the municipality we will continue to lend our support by making land available, as we have done at Van der Stel and Idas Valley sports grounds. We hope to do so in Khayamandi, Cloetesville and the outer laying towns in the future. I want to thank Frederico for bringing tennis to us, and we hope his work will spread to other towns within the municipal area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellenbosch
