Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan representatives Olive Tuyisenge and Chantal Mutuyimana put up dominant displays against Angola\u2019s Gabriela Martins and Miriam Tuluca on Thursday to restore Rwanda\u2019s hopes of securing a top finish in the ongoing 2023 Billie Jean King Cup, Africa Group lV tournament.<\/p>\n

Rwanda dropped points in Group A table rankings on Tuesday after Gisele Umumararungu and Mutuyimana each slumped to shock defeats against Tanzania\u2019s Martin Shana Mao and Mohamed Ester Nankulange respectively in singles category before Tuyisenge teamed up with Umumararugu to win the doubles 2-1 (6-2, 4-6, 7-5) against Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The results saw Rwanda drop to third in the table, behind Ethiopia and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Tuyisenge came back to the Kigali Ecology Tennis Club clay court in a positive mood on Thursday, beating Martins 2-0 (6-1 6-2) before her teammate Mutuyimana also proved too dominant against Tuluca with a 2-0 (6-1, 6-1) comfortable victory in Rwanda\u2019s Game 2 of the day.<\/p>\n

The presence of the home crowd became the duo\u2019s source of motivation and they repaid their fans\u2019 support and faith with victories.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not an easy game, we played well and that\u2019s why we got this victory,\u201d Tuyisenge said after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe coach told us to play our game, so we can enjoy it, the crowd was amazing and we are confident because of this first game victory. It is very encouraging to win the first game rather than trying to come back from behind,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

A total of 11 African countries are in the country for the Billie Jean King Cup 2023 which is taking place on the African continent for the first time.<\/p>\n

Officially opened on Monday, June 5, the one-week long tournament attracted female tennis players from Angola, Congo, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania and Rwanda who won the hosting rights for the tournament\u2019s inaugural edition.<\/p>\n
