ISLAMABAD, May 26: More than two hundred and twenty five players from across the country will compete in the Vigo Champ Subh-e-Nau National Tennis, beginning from Sunday at the Islamabad Club Tennis Courts.

Giving details of the high-profile event Shahida Kausar Farooq, chairperson Subh-e-Nau said it will be a good opportunity for the players to showcase their talent.
