productivity at work. The management themselves are all tennis enthusiasts. The tournament is scheduled on friday
afternoon and management declared this as a "tennis holiday". It is a day of fun and workers can cheer for their
respective teams. Management supported the program with free snacks and fun fairs to make the occasion
memorable. It was a four-consecutive-Fridays tournament.
- Noel and Grace advanced to the final round. They were leading in the third set which was the deciding point. On a
smash, Noel twisted his ankle badly. Despite the injury Noel and Grace continued the game until they won the set
and were declared tennis champions. Noel's injury became worse and he had to be confined in the hospital for 2
