Young Guyanese Hickerson excels at Junior Tennis tournament in T&T

Guyanese Zion Hickerson earned second place in the Boys Under-10 singles and first place in the Boys Under-10 Doubles at the Lease Operators Junior Tennis Tournament in Trinidad and Tobago recently.

The nine-year-old Guyanese player competed fiercely in the Singles final against Trinidad and Tobago’s U-10 National Champion, Nicholas Mc Letchie, ultimately losing 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 the country’s national Under-11 Squash Champion, will now prepare to represent Guyana at the Junior CASA (squash) Championship in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) from June 29 to July 7.
