Kenya’s Angella Okutoyi is set to face top seed Joanna Garland of Chinese Taipei in the singles final of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) W35 Women’s World Tour at the Nairobi Club today.

This marks the second meeting between the two in just two weeks, with Okutoyi, the African Games champion, aiming to avenge her loss to the second seed during the first week of the tournament.

In their previous encounter, Okutoyi fell 6-4, 2-6, 3-6 in the quarterfinals, effectively ending her hopes of claiming a first title since winning the continental crown in Accra last March.

Both players had to battle hard to secure their spots in the final, with each being pushed to their limits by their respective opponents. Okutoyi fought back in a tough match, overcoming Poland’s Zuzanna Pawlikoska 7-6(1), 3-6, 6-3 in a thrilling mid-morning contest at the Nairobi Club on Saturday.
