Defending BRTO Champion Shakeem Nurse is the latest player to advance to the men’s Round of 16, in this year’s Barbados Open Road Tennis Competition.

Playing in the Round of 32 at the Deighton Pa Roach facility at Bush Hall St Michael on Monday, Nurse proved to be too strong for Kerry TC Francis, as he eased to victory in straight sets 21-15, 21-17.

In his first outing of the competition Nurse looked to be in great touch, but his inclination for big shots resulted in numerous unforced errors.
