Angela Okutoyi and Albert Njogu yesterday won their respective girls’ and boys’ singles matches to book their places in the quarter finals of the ongoing Under-18 International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Tennis Tour Championships at Nairobi Club. 

Okutoyi, who is looking to redeem herself following a first round elimination in last week’s ITF Under-18 Junior Circuit, put up a spirited fight against Anna Lemongo of Cameroon to emerge victorious. The Kenyan girl survived a third set tie-break to win in 7-6(4),3-6,7-6(6) against seventh seeded Lemongo, who staged a brilliant show last week losing in the final to Germany’s Joelle Steur.
