The match was played in Pretoria. This was the second title for Seetso this year. He booked himself a spot in the singles final by beating Connor Thomas Doig of South Africa 6-1, 6-1 during the semi final.
At the time, he overcame John Bothman of South Africa 6-2, 6-1. The Botswana Tennis Association (BTA) president, Oaitse Thipe told Sport Monitor that since the tennis star missed out on the French Open Juniors, he is now trying to target the US Open in August. Thipe explained that Seetso was supposed to be among the top 100 players in the world in order to qualify for the French Open Juniors.
However, he is currently ranked 220, with a possibility of going down to 180 when the new rankings are released. “He is playing another ITF J60 in Pretoria this week. Hopefully he will do well to get the points.
He is a hard worker and the stage is no longer putting him under pressure. He should just focus on his dream and it is also our dream to see one of our own playing in the Grand Slam,” Thipe said.
