Niksa faced Canada in his second round today.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the result he was hoping for, losing both sets by just three shots.

It’s a tough result, but we know Niksa well enough to know he won’t let this get him down. He’ll take the lessons from this game, regroup and come back ready to give his very best in the next round.

Keep fighting, Niksa. We’re behind you every step of the way and wishing you all the best for your next game.
