Alwande wins title in Turkey
Top African wheelchair tennis star Alwande Sikhosana clinched an ITF Futures singles title at the Aspendos Open in Turkey on Wednesday.
Sikhosana defeated Costa Rica’s Jose Pablo Gil 6-4, 6-1 to claim his fourth title of the 2022 season.
In the women’s event, it was a great effort, but not to be for Mariska Venter.
The South African star fell short of claiming the women’s title, going down to top seed and world No.17 Viktoriia Lvova 6-0, 6-4.
Venter, Sikhosana and Ronewa Mudzanani will now move on to the TBESF Open, also an ITF Futures event which runs from 18-21 November at Turgay Soysal Tennis Academy.
