Tennis Background

Born on April 3 1995 in Harare, I started playing tennis at the age of 7 and at 8 became the 10 and under girls number 2 ranked player in Zimbabwe. I was a finalist in the 12 years and under girls’ tournament at the age of 9 and achieved a number 2 national ranking at the same age. At 11 years, I won a 14 and under open tournament in Zimbabwe. 

I am currently based inPretoria– RSA under the International Tennis Federation (ITF) developmental programme. My participation in the International Tennis Federation/Confederation of African Tennis (ITF/CAT) 13 and under junior circuit held inMalawiin 2006, resulted in my invitation for trials by the ITF centre inPretoria. I believe my exceptional talent and maturity resulted in my being awarded a scholarship at the age of 11, when the minimum entry age limit at the Centre was 13 years. 

I qualified for the ITF/CAT and Rest of the World 14 and under team tour of Europe and ITF 16 & Under Junior Touring Team to Europe in 2009 and 2010 respectively through my good performances at African Junior Championships. In 2009, I participated in tournaments held in France, Holland, Belgium and Germany from 3^rd of July to the 8^th of August. I was ranked number 1 in the ITF/CAT African 14 and under girls’ category at the end of 2009.

In 2010 competed in five tournaments held in Italy and France. My best performance was quarter finals in the last two tournaments in singles and finalist in doubles in one of the tournaments. 

Currently I am ranked 292 in the ITF 18 and under girls world category and aim to be in the top 100 by end of 2011.
