TUESDAY, 12.30PM:
FORMER Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has been named as the replacement for Frenchman Yannick Noah in the field for the MTN championships senior tennis tournament to be held at Sandton Gardens later this month.
Reigning champion Noah withdrew from the tournament, citing prior commitments.
Tournament promoter Franco Barocas welcomed the inclusion of Cash. “After thorough investigation we decided that Cash had both the ability and the personality to slot into the field,” said Barocas. “He is in great shape and the high-altitude conditions will suite him well.”
