The 5th Set Academy is organizing the 1st International Tennis Senior Caribbean Tournament which will take place from April 29 to May 7 on the courts of the Country Club Port de Plaisance. With perhaps the presence of the former world No. 1, Mats Wilander and other former glories of world tennis!
This event is on the calendar of the International Federation (ITF) and the French Tennis Federation (FFT), under the leadership of Laurent Paillusseau (Tournament Director), creator also of the ITF of Marrakech for 4 years.
The Referee is Jean-Jacques Zaragosi, who officiates in particular at the ATP of Nice and the Seniors of Monaco.
Many former glories of world tennis regularly participate in ITF senior tournaments. "In fact, we start to dream of the arrival of Mickael Penfors, finalist of the French Open at Roland-Garros and Mats Wilander, former world No. 1", says the organizers of the tournament.
During his tennis career, Mats Wilander won the trifle of 33 titles, some of the most important of which was the first he won at Roland Garros in 1982.

In 1986 he was ranked second in the world behind Ivan Lendl and in 1987 he won a third Davis Cup. In 1988, he achieved a remarkable career by reaching the head of the ATP ranking, after his successes obtained at the Australian Open, Roland-Garros and The US Open.
