Suresh Subramaniam continues for third term as President SLTA Suresh Subramaniam will head the Sri Lanka Tennis Association (SLTA) for a third consecutive term at its annual general meeting on March 20. He has received special Sports Ministry dispensation to continue again - in fact, all office-bearers will be uncontested. During Subramaniam's two-year term, the game underwent significant changes - a widely travelled person Subramaniam has been able to get the SLTA administration on professional lines, while opportunities are opened out for local players to pursue a career in professional tennis. The Junior Development Programme received a tremendous boost with Lankan players acquitting themselves well, playing on the Asian Circuit on a regular basis and undergoing specialized training in Europe. Wheel-Chair Tennis, too, improved tremendously and they graduated from 'D' division to 'B' and met with success in Thailand, New Zealand and Australia recently.
