Young Roger Lyn (centre) touched the hearts of many recently by giving his prize of three Wilson BLX racquets and bag to the No. 1 seed Denilso Hernandez (right), from Cuba. Lyn is Jamaica's under-12 tennis champion. These boys played the entire event using old ITF racquets with torn leather grips. But in a gesture entirely his own, Roger decided to give away his prize to someone who needs it more. His dad, Roger Lyn Senior, told Outlook that his son made him feel proud to be a Jamaican - because so much bad happens at home, the gesture was quite refreshing! Pictured with the boys is Anthony Jeremiah, ITF director for the region. - Contributed
