First PTA tennis tournament a great success
2015-02-11Staff Report 2 By Staff Reporter WINDHOEK - The popular PTA tennis series got off to a successful new season at the Windhoek High School (WHS) tennis courts in the capital last Saturday. In the Intermediate category, the newcomer Melissa Khupe was the standut player of the day. She put up some great performances to edge past the highly experienced like Cleet Farmer, who had to settle for second place. Taimi Nashiku came in third. Meanwhile, Mike Kambonde came out guns blazing in the Beginner’s division to take home victory.

The first place in the Mini category went to Eila Kambonde. She edged past Jamilla Hungamo und Jozikee Tjaimba who had to settle for second and third respectively. At this tournament, all participants collected points for the PTA tennis ranking once again.
