Thoriso Ramokgola is a young tennis player who continues to hold up the name of both the city as well as Limpopo whenever she gets onto a tennis court.
Besides playing tennis, Thoriso also plays netball and if she’s not playing sport, she’s watching sport. Thoriso is one of the young talented players who was in action on Saturday and Sunday during the Sport Bit Youth Tennis Development Tournament at the Polokwane Tennis Courts.
Even though she is a local girl, she enjoys playing in tournaments all over the country and her next one will be in Mpumalanga later this month.
“I want to see more people play the game because it is so much fun and you make the best friends while playing,” she said.
