Women's defending champion Shufaa Changawa continued with her ruthless attack as the 2017 Britam Kenya Open Tennis Championships entered Day Two at Nairobi Club yesterday.

 Changawa, who sailed to the second round after defeating Emaculate Musumbi 6-0, 6-0 on Monday, maintained that form when she faced Achu Madhieu of Sudan in the second round.

"It has been a good start for me in this tournament. I am praying for a successfully title defence," said Changawa.

Her brother Ismail defeated Hiriko Ishida of Japan 6-1, 6-0. [Erick Ochieng]
