Faustina Nyarko wins McDan Tennis Open Women’s Singles

Winneba based Faustina Nyarko expressed her confidence on court to

beat training partner Yvonne Bruce – Tagoe in two straight sets at the finals

of the McDans Tennis Open Women’s Singles in Accra.

Nyarko who showed her athleticism and court craft was too much for

Bruce – Tagoe who was often caught ball watching.

The two under 20 years Tennis players proved that the future is

bright for the least financed sport.

The champion said she could not play her best game, but won

alright and now looking forward to international games, especially the Junior

Wimbledon.

Yvonne Bruce-Tagoe told yours truly she lost confidence after

losing the first set. She hinted that her opponent commanded the court and

there was no way she could win.

The exciting Men’s final between George Darko and Japheth

Bagerebaseh could not come to a successful end due to poor visibility as the

light at the court were not enough to beam the court.

The continuation of the game on Sunday at the same venue at 10

.00 am saw Jeff Bagerbaseh beating George Darko in an exciting game.

The Sports Minister Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankah who graced the final

called on other companies to support sports in Ghana.

He urged the players to train hard and play for the nation as

there are many opportunities.
