In this, their first participation in the competition on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) calendar, the three players from the Kikuxi Villas Club Academy, in Luanda, led by coach Joa\u0303o Almeida, alternated between victories and defeats, in singles matches and peers.<\/p>\n

For example, in a Portuguese-speaking match, tennis players Gabriela Martins, Mariana Costa and Miriam Tuluca won, with some difficulties, their Mozambican opponents, in the pairs tiebreaker.<\/p>\n

In the final ranking of the competition, which involved 11 African countries, Angola ranked above Lesotho, Mozambique and Congo Brazzaville.<\/p>\n

Overall, Madagascar is the leader, followed by Tanzania, Cameroon, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique and Congo Brazzaville.<\/p>\n
