Guyana’s Hickerson excels at junior tennis tournament in T&T

Guyana’s Zion Hickerson has earned second place in the Boys U10 singles and first place in the Boys U10 Doubles at the Lease Operators Junior Tennis Tournament, played in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago recently.
This nine-year-old Guyanese player competed fiercely in the singles’ final against Trinidad and Tobago’s U10 National Champion Nicholas Mc Letchie, but ultimately lost in a super tie-break in the third set (4-0, 0-4, 13-15).
In the doubles’ competition, Hickerson paired with T&T’s Malik Bain to win the title with a score of 5-4, 4-1.
Hickerson, who is also Guyana’s national U11 Squash Champion, will now prepare to represent Guyana at the Junior CASA (squash) Championships, to be held in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) from June 29 to July 7.
This St Gabriel’s Primary School student is extending a ‘special thank you’ to the Guyana Lawn Tennis Association, De Sinco Trading, Jai Signs and Designs, Toucan Industries, Nabi Construction, National Hardware, Ramchand Auto Spares, Beacon Cafe, Bumper-to-Bumper Service, and S & L Electrical Agency for making his participation in this competition in Trinidad and Tobago a success.
