The country's tennis team earned promotion after Ibrahim Kibet and Ismael Changawa won their singles matches against Mozambique, securing a spot in the Davis Cup Africa Group III championship final at Nairobi Club.
Kenya only needed to win the semi-final duel to earn promotion to Group II, and Kibet and Changawa delivered, dismissing their opponents in straight sets.
Changawa easily brushed aside Franco Mata in 6-1, 6-1, while Kibet braved a two-set thriller to edge out Bruno Nhavene 7-6(6), 6-4.
