As Kenya steps into the New Year with hope and ambition, Angella Okutoyi has delivered the perfect New Year treat for Kenyans — a historic victory on home soil at the 2026 ITF World Tennis Tour W35 Nairobi.

This victory is especially meaningful for Wanjiru Mbugua Karani, the newly elected Tennis Kenya KLTA President, as it comes just days after she assumed office unopposed.
