Henry Ayesiga

Amadi Kagoma, once again dashed all hopes of a Ugandan win in the boys 18 and Under finals against favourite second seed, favourite David Oringa at the Tennis Africa Cup tournament on Centre Court in Lugogo Stadium. After an initial loss in the first set 3/6, Amadi rallied to take the second set 6/2 to set up and exciting tie break that saw him take the match at 10/8. Oringa, who will be reprsenting Uganda in the All Africa Games in September, said that he enjoyed the match, and hoped to get back to serious training as soon as school closes later this month.

Henry, who won the ITF 14 and Under in April this year, was trailing 2/5 after taking the first set, and had to raise his game considerably to catch up and take over the match. David Nesbitt was semi-finalist while Olivier Kigotho reached the third round.
