FIJI’S top men’s tennis players are set to test themselves against the best in the Pacific when they compete at the Oceania Tennis Cup 2026 in Tahiti from July 6 to 11, carrying the nations’ hopes into one of the region’s premier team competitions.
The three-member squad, comprising captain Amit Sumit Lal, Raynal Singh, and Roko Ravula Draunidalo, heads into the tournament with confidence after a series of impressive performances on the local circuit.
Leading the team is veteran Amit Sumit Lal, whose experience and leadership will be vital as Fiji takes on some of Oceania’s strongest tennis nations.
Having represented Fiji on numerous occasions, Lal is expected to play a key role both on and off the court, guiding the younger members of the squad through the demands of regional competition.
Joining his team is Raynal Singh, who arrives in Tahiti in outstanding form after capturing the men’s singles title at the recent Fiji Open.
His victory reaffirmed his status as one of Fiji’s premier tennis players and provides a timely confidence boost ahead of the regional championship.
The squad is further strengthened by Roko Ravula Draunidalo, who recently celebrated success by winning the Fiji Open men’s doubles title.
His versatility and doubles experience are expected to add valuable depth as Fiji looks to challenge the region’s traditional tennis powerhouses.
The Oceania Tennis Cup brings together the Pacific’s leading men’s teams and offers an important platform for athletes to measure themselves against elite regional opposition.
For Fiji, the tournament represents more than just a chance to compete for honours. It is also an opportunity to gain valuable international experience, improve world rankings, and continue the growth of tennis on the international stage.
Tennis Fiji believes the team has prepared well for the challenge and is confident the players will represent the country with pride, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the week-long event.
The national federation also hopes the team’s participation will inspire more young Fijians to take up the sport and strengthen the pathway for future international success.
With experience, recent form, and belief on their side, Fiji’s men’s team will be aiming to build on its domestic success and make a strong impression when the Oceania Tennis Cup gets underway in Tahiti next week.
