Botswana tennis team coach, Wellington Sibanda has said the country stands a good chance of sending players to the Africa Junior Championships (AJC) to be held in Tunisia from January 26-31.

Sibanda told Mmegi Sport yesterday that they are pinning their hopes on sending three players to the championship. He explained that last year, only one player qualified for the event.

This year, Thato Holmes (boys) and Tshegofatso Tsiang (girls) have done well in the first qualifying tournament, increasing their qualification chances. Sibanda said they are now waiting for one boy in the either the Under 14 or 15 categories to pull through.
