The Philippine Lawn Tennis Asso- elation had originally planned to invite Tilden and his troupe to play exhibition matches in Mantta with local amateurs. Permission to slago such matches however, was dip- approved by the International Lawn Tennis Association to which PILTA is afflünted. A group of local tennis fans, however, decided to bring the professionals here and promote the exhibition matches as a private ven- ture,

It has also been indicated that the PAAF will construct another tennis stadium. A glass roof has just been put over the present stadium and an air-cooling system installed, so that games may be staged there even during the rainy season.
