Meanwhile, the country tennis has missed the opportunity to compete in the World Team Cup Africa qualifiers.
The World Team Cup Africa is made up of top nations that performed well at the just ended 2016 ITF/CAT Africa Junior Championship staged in Pretoria.
The event has attracted tennis players from Seychelles, Mauritius, Nigeria, Tunisia, South Africa and Kenya.
The qualifiers are scheduled for June 3 – 18 at the clay court of La Marsa Tunis and will see Nigeria, Seychelles, Mauritius and hosts Tunisia jostling for the sole ticket of the main tournament billed for Spain later this year.
