The Tarkwa Goldfields Tennis Club’s Tracy Ampah won 7-6(2), 4-6, 6-3 in 2 hours and 15mins.

Speaking to ghanatennis.org Tracy said, “I knew that I had to be aggressive, give 100% for every ball and not allow my opponent to have the upper hand in the match; especially the final set because she’s so powerful and so strong. Annette knows how to manage every moment. So, I knew that I had to be resolute, which I did pretty well today.”
