Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Polish Marcin Andrzejczak clinched the ITF Tennis World Tour Junior Grade 5 tournament after beating Rwanda\u2019s Junior Hakizumwami 2-0 (6-2, 6-2) in the final game held at Kicukiro Ecology Tennis Club on Friday.<\/p>\n

Andrzejczak was in total control of the game from the very first minute, making a series of attacking displays that Hakizumwami struggled to cope with.<\/p>\n

The Polish won the first set 6-2 before producing the same score to make it 2-0 and win the title in a dominant fashion.<\/p>\n

It was Hakizumwami\u2019s first defeat in the tournament after going four games unbeaten. Against Andrzejczak, he accepted the defeat and admitted that the better player won.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Andrzejczak] was always well ahead of me. He was in control of the game because he plays an attacking game while I play defensively. His level is pretty much more advanced than mine. I tried my best but it was not my day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt showed me that I have a lot to do to reach his level and I really need so many tournaments to improve my level. But I hope to bounce in the next phase of the tournament,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors tournament is one of the six international tennis tournaments that Rwanda will host in 2023.<\/p>\n

A total of 52 tennis players from 18 countries, including host nation Rwanda, attended the week-long tournament which started in Kigali on Monday, April 24-28.<\/p>\n

Rwanda had the highest representation at the tournament with 15 players. Other countries that are represented include Egypt, Madagascar, Poland, India, Kenya, Italy, Czech Republic, Russia, Burundi, Canada, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Taiwan, Belgium, South Africa and Moldova.<\/p>\n
