The world of tennis has been blessed with a new generation of young players - confident, committed, personality - driven with hopes of leaving their mark on the lawn tennis tournament at Wimbledon London, one of the four Grand Slam championships.
In 2010 Michael was lucky to have escorted his favorite player and eventual winner, Roger Federer onto court for the match against Andy Murray.
Only a couple of years ago Michael Mhangami was just a kid playing tennis just to keep busy. Now, at the age of 12, he’s the winner of 9&U and 10&U Aegon Winter Masters Nationals, Clay Court National Championships, Aegon British National Invitational (2 years in a row), Multi Grand Prix winner, LTA Surrey Champion and Porsche Nottingham Open Winner twice in a row. LTA funded and identified talented player and above all, the British Number 1 in 2010 and 2011.
This year he is set to compete at one of the biggest tournaments, Orange Bowl, Florida USA.
He started playing tennis at the age of three and it he has never looked back since then. He has competed in several tournaments, local, national and international. This has gained him awards, several medals and trophies.
In 2010 Michael won three national level titles as well as winning the Surrey County event. He is part of the Aegon Future Stars program to nurture talented young tennis players.
Last year Michael was awarded with a very special award, African Achievers Awards (AAA) as the Youngest Achiever.
Michael's dreams are too big for the earnings of his working class parents. Tennis, unlike any other game out there, is expensive and caters for a limited and very active membership. Michael travels around the world for tournaments and the more he plays tennis, the more expenses are, for his parents.
As a society we cannot afford to fold our hands when there is such talent in our youngsters; A date has been set for a fund raiser that has drawn the attention of tennis legends like Andy Murray & Roger Federer who are expected to take part in this inspiring story of Michael Mhangami.
