Ramduth qualified for the African Junior Teams Championships when she represented South Africa in Zimbabwe back in May in the U-16 section - where she took first place.

While tennis may be a hobby for some people, the Curro Hillcrest scholar says that tennis is something she lives for every single day.

"This opportunity to me is a dream come true, another milestone in my career and another step towards reaching my dream of winning the Grand Slams, US Open and Wimbledon."
