“Thank you to my sponsors for all the equipment; it has made me a better tennis player. It will also push me further to play harder and focus more,” the 13-year-old said.
Despite having to compete in a higher category this time around, Kaysan is ready to battle from August 26-31. He noted that he would have to put in much more work this time around. “I expect that I would have to fight, and put my mind to it,” he said.
Speaking on plans for the future, the young man sees himself progressing through the table tennis ranks over the next few years. He is hopeful of getting opportunity to participate in the largest international sporting event, come 2020.
“In future, I hope to attend the World Championships for my country, and also to reach the Olympics in 2020,” he confidently stated.
When he competed in 2016, the youngster copped gold in the “11 and under” category of the same competition. Additionally, he is Guyana’s “15 champion”, one category higher than his actual range.
