She was one of six players chosen to represent Maccabi South Africa in Budapest, Hungary, at the 15th European Maccabi Games from 29 July to 7 August 2019.

Having played tennis since Grade 1 in 2012, Tchelet lives her life by tennis icon Billie Jean King’s quote, “Champions keep playing until they get it right.” She plays tennis six days a week for about 15 hours each week with a rigorous training schedule. Being a type-1 diabetic who is insulin dependent, she has learnt to be resilient and disciplined. Her goal is to get a tennis scholarship to an overseas university.
