Two Days of Kids Tennis in Doha
For many of our players, this was their very first tournament. You could feel the mix of nerves and excitement on the first morning. Within a few points, the nerves were gone. Rackets were swinging, feet were moving and every rally was met with cheers from the fence.
The tournament was played on the Red Ball stage, the format designed for children of this age. The softer ball bounces lower and slower, and the courts are smaller. As a result, six- and seven-year-olds can rally, serve and score just like the professionals they watch on TV.
Real matches, real rules
Every match followed a simple knockout format: first to six games, with a tie-break at 6–6 and no-ad scoring. Players changed ends, kept their own score and learned to call the ball fairly. In other words, they did not just play tennis. They learned how to compete.
The role of our coaches
Before each match, our coaches met the players at the net for the coin toss and a short briefing. During play, the children were on their own, as the rules allow no coaching. That is exactly where confidence grows. Between matches, our coaches were there with encouragement, high-fives and a few quiet tips for next time.
Meet Our Age 6 & 7 Champions
After two days of determined tennis, two players reached the final. Both played with courage, focus and a big heart.
Congratulations to Arthur Gibson, our Age 6 & 7 champion, and to Bora Demirci, our runner-up. Above all, congratulations to every player who stepped on court. Win or lose, each child finished with a handshake at the net and a smile.

What Our Young Players Gained
A tournament teaches things that a lesson alone cannot. Over these two days, our players learned to:
- Stay calm under pressure and play the next point, whatever happened on the last one.
- Keep score and make fair calls, building honesty and independence.
- Win with respect and lose with grace, ending every match with a handshake.
- Believe in themselves, because they now know they can compete.
We were also proud of the families. Parents lined the fences, filmed every rally and cheered for every child, not only their own. Thank you for creating such a warm atmosphere.
