Poane continues to make history

The high-flying local tennis player is now on the way to being promoted to the silver tier. The feat, which takes her a step closer to the gold, follows a review of her work rate and performance in the annual review conducted by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). The bronze badge is an international umpire certification awarded by the joint programme of the ITF, ATP, and WTA.

Speaking to MmegiSport, she said the achievement is significant.
