Seetso and Nawa won the doubles after beating Mahommed Gechou and Mahommed Ghetas of Algeria 6-3,7-5 to emerge the 2021 African Junior Championship winners. Youri is the singles champion while Seetso finished third in the singles.
Botswana Tennis Association (BTA) president, Oaitse Thipe told Sport Monitor that the performance of the three prayers is a big achievement.
“These players are going for the grand slams next year. They are at the top of their game. It is an exciting time for local tennis. They now have to bring another gold medal from AUSC Region 5 Games in Maseru, Lesotho,” he said.
Thipe added there is still a lot of work to be done and there is need for investment on the players. He appealed to the corporate sector to assist in funding the players in order for them to reach their Grand Slam dreams.
