Going home with two titles is good for me and my career. I think my best strategy was to partner with Pavan,\u201d Park told Times Sport after the victory in the final.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ennaciri Manal from Morocco and Finieys India from France won the girls&#8217; doubles final. \/ Courtesy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Korean Tennis prospect was impressed about how the tournament was organized, especially the clay grounds from which he won the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved the organization. The clay is very good here (IPRC-Kigali) and so is the food. I hope to return here very soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His compatriot Pavan Appu came to the tournament without a ranking on the ITF rankings and hailed Park for his commitment to work as a team despite having difficulty communicating during the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am happy to go back home with a ranking. My partner [Park] made matches much easier during our partnership, we hadn\u2019t played together before but we immediately kicked off a friendship even though we don\u2019t speak the same language\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the girls\u2019 doubles final, Ennaciri Manal (Morocco) and Finieys India (France) beat Great Britain\u2019s Cole Jadesola and Mariam Ibrahim from Egypt 6-3 6-17-6 (5) 6-1.<\/p>\n<p>The ITF World Tennis Tour is organized by the Rwanda Tennis Federation, International Tennis Federation and Rwanda\u2019s Ministry of Sports.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament is meant to provide a launch pad for the best young players to go on and achieve success in the professional game.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 85 players from 34 countries participated in the tournament and the top eight juniors at the end of the year go head-to-head at the prestigious season-ending ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
