The International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Women’s Tour commenced yesterday at the Peponi School in Ruiru with Kenyan duo Faith Nyabera and Judith Nkatha progressing to the second round after winning their respective ties.
Nyabera, who was the first Kenyan to take to the courts, survived a second set scare from India’s Vibhbasree Gowda to prevail after the Indian had rallied from one set down to send the match to a tie-breaker.
