Lenkopane charts new tennis path :: Mmegi Online

Back in the day, Kao Lenkopane was crisscrossing different sporting codes in the sparkling diamond town of Orapa. He had no idea which sport to fully focus on until tennis fell firmly on his lap and this proved a perfect fit.

Eight years later he jetted off across the Atlantic Ocean to further his studies and play tennis at a higher level in the United States. Lenkopane started playing tennis at Orapa Junior Secondary School in 2014.

The plan was not to stick around for long in the courts only for him to discover that tennis was exactly what he needed. Lenkopane said it was easy for him to fit in the sport. Lenkopane has been admitted to the University of the Ozarks in Arkansas, where he will pursue both his studies and enhance his tennis skills. The university is a member of The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. He is a recipient of the 2021 Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC) Elite Scholarship Fund.
