DALE CLARKE isn’t done trying to make Barbados’ indigenous sport a global game.

After playing the Cream Of The Crop final in New York this year, the Professional Road Tennis Association (PRTA) president revealed he plans to migrate the entire tournament to the Big Apple in an effort to expand the game internationally.

It’s just one of the global initiatives on the table for Clarke, who also said that he has attracted some interest from entities in California and South Africa about taking road tennis abroad.

“In the past road tennis used to be long, drawn-out tournaments but we’re trying to get to international standards where a tournament lasts for two weeks . . . ,” explained Clarke.
