Chinese young players received a warm welcome at an overseas tennis camp in Croatia last week.

As part of the "Swing for the Stars" youth tennis program, nine junior players were invited by Mercedes Benz to hone their skills at Croatia's National Tennis Center in Zagreb from Jan 17-Feb 5.

Croatian President Ivo Josipovic and Chinese Ambassador Shen Zhifei visited the camp to meet the players and watch them practice on Tuesday.
