Oneworld of Sports (aka Haresh & Ashutosh) had organized the 1st edition of the Black Rock Tour of Wannabe Champions in Oct 2008 under the august auspices of the AATP.
The response was stunning with accolades flowing in from across the world for this brilliantly organized day/night tennis tournament which saw participation from of amateur tennis professionals from across the world
ok ok the world is not dubai but it will do for a start
since the end of the 1st edition demand had been pouring in from all quarters to do a 2nd edition soon. The organizers got together and after several false starts organized the much awaited 2nd edition on the hallowed turf of MSLTA on 25th Jan and 26th Jan 2009. Sadly a lot of the orginal participants had to stay away due to the usual roster of reasons - injury, love, work .........
