Player Spotlight: Nisha Michau

This week's spotlight is on SCAD freshman Nisha Michau. As the latest addition to the SCAD tennis team, Nisha calls Port Elizabeth, South Africa home and never fails to crack us up with her funny native accent. (we're laughing with her, not at her)


Nisha Michau

A fashion major with a sense of style that's nearly as sharp as her cross-court forehand, Nisha has had a remarkable season thus far. Losing only 3 singles matches out of 13, she's proven herself to be an invaluable player at the #4 position. Nisha's season highlight came during our first encounter of the year with rival team Northwood in February. In an outstanding display of tennis, Nisha handily defeated her opponent Christine Novokova to help SCAD secure the match with a 5-4 lead.


When she's not kicking butt on the courts, you'll probably find her on the beach with her fellow SCAD teammate Stephanie Gula. This South African knows her way around a bottle of sunscreen and you can bet she'll be hitting the waves when she returns home in the summer. Although, I imagine it would be winter this time south of the equator so she may have to don a little more than a bikini.


Wish her luck next week as she competes with the rest of her teammates in their bid for a National title.
