Rising tennis sensation, Ntungamili Raguin continued to make history at the Australian Junior Open by beating world number 25, Dimitar Kisimov of Bulgaria.

The victory put him in the top 50 of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior rankings. The winner was decided in the third set after Raguin won the first set 7-5 and lost second set 1-6 in favour of his opponent. In the third set, Raguin made a comeback to pick a 6-4 victory. He will be in the court today as he continues with the tournament. Raguin recorded the first-ever match win by a Motswana at a Grandslam main draw, a breakthrough for Botswana Tennis Association (BTA).

After the Australian Junior Open, Raguin will then head to Ecuador for the ITF J300 next week.
