Remembering Kent – Share your memories and messages of support.
After witnessing the outpouring of grief and support, Tennis West have developed an online platform where members of the Tennis Community can privately share either their fondest memories of Kent, and/or condolence messages to the family. All of these messages will then be collated by Tennis West, printed, and presented as a book to the Yamazaki Family. To upload your message, click the following link: https://bit.ly/2RG1Sju
