Seetso on the verge making of history

Seetso was in his element this weekend beating Hugh Winter of Australia, 6-1, 6-2 to win the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Potchefstroom J100 tournament.

He reached the finals following a 6-3 6-4 win over Gur Trakhtenberg of Israel. Botswana Tennis Association (BTA) president, Oaitse Thipe said the J100 tournament carries 100 points which get him closer to qualify for the French Open and Wimbledon Juniors. “It will be a massive achievement for Denzel to play the Grand Slam.

He just needs to maintain this performance until around May. We might see a local player playing against the best players in the world. He will be exposed to the best competition.

That will be a motivation to upcoming players who will realise that anything is possible if they put their minds to it,” he said. The 17 yearold is trained by Phenyo Matong in Gaborone after a stint under the ITF scholarship.
