The International Tennis Federation (ITF)'s junior tour tennis tournament known as The J4 Shiraz Tournament 2021 was held in Shiraz from 17-22 May 2021.
Tennis players from Germany, Turkey, Romania, Russia, Denmark and Belgium participated in the six-day event, which was held at Futures Club in Shiraz.
The appropriate preparations for the tournament, people's hospitality on streets, good equipment for the competitions, stores near the play grounds, fair judgment by referees and good atmospheres for resting are among the issues lauded by foreign tennis players.
They suggested that it would be better to hold next years' competitions in another season, because it was hot.
Lara Oroglu, 16-year-old tennis player from Turkey, told IRNA that after eight years of playing tennis, she experienced good security in Iran, which is very important for her, adding that the Iranian people are very nice and they help visitors and show routes.
Blea Austin, 17-year-old tennis player from Romania, pointed to proper preparations for the tournament, noting that he loves Iran because of its people and security.
Kiyan Kazemi, 17-year-old tennis player from Germany, praised the quality of the competitions, adding that the Iranian tennis players have good experience.
Sode Ince, 16-year-old tennis player from Turkey, told IRNA that it is the fifth time that he visits Iran and that some people told him take care when in the country, but it is completely safe and secure.
