Raguin has been blazing the trail and was duly crowned the Junior Sportsperson of the Year at the recent Botswana Sport Awards.
According to the Botswana Tennis Association, Raguin will contest in the qualifying tournament today and tomorrow at Wimbledon Qualifying and Community Sports Centre, Roehampton, London. To qualify for the main draw, Ntungamili must win two consecutive matches.
'We warmly welcome all Batswana living in the United Kingdom to come and support Ntungamili as he carries Botswana's colours onto one of the most iconic stages in the world of tennis. Bring your Botswana colours, wear your Botswana Colours, let's make history together,' BTA said.
The player's father, Dominique Raguin, hailed his son's participation in the qualifying round.
Years of work have led to this moment.
'The next objective is clear: win two qualifying matches and earn a place in the main draw of one of the most iconic tournaments in world sport,' Dominique said.
'Whatever happens over the next two days, Botswana tennis has already reached another historic milestone,' he said.
