Nevermind Wimbledon, currently taking place in the UK.

Local tennis hopeful, Siyolise Schultz, is quietly carving her own path on the international tennis circuit.

The 15-year-old jetted off a month ago for a European tour, making her first stop in France accompanied by her father and coach, Simthandile Gary Mantile.

After a month of intense training, Schultz recently took part in the first tournament on her overseas schedule, and she could hardly have asked for a better start.
