On January 3, 2020, Tennis Kenya president James Kenani flagged off the junior team heading for the 2020 East Africa Tennis Championship in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Kenani expressed his confidence in the team, particularly the girls, who he believes have a better chance of success due to the competitive nature of the boys' side.
"I am seriously banking on the team especially the girls who have a better chance since the boys side is extremely competitive, but I'm hoping that they will all play their best and increase the gold medals to four from last year's three," said Kenani.
The team, which departed on January 4, 2020, will be accompanied by coaches Allan Atola and Peter Rakuom.
The East Africa Tennis Championship will take place from January 6 to 15, 2020, at the Gymkhana Club in Dar es Salaam, with teams from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Seychelles, Comoros, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, and the hosts participating.
