Ghana’s Golden Rackets secure promotion to Africa Zone III in Davis Cup

Ghana’s tennis national team, the Golden Rackets, have made it back into the Africa Group III of the Davis Cup.

This was after a clean sweep in the Group IV playoffs in Kigali, Rwanda.

The Golden Rackets topped Pool A after beating Kenya 2-1 in the opening match, won 2-1 against Cameroon and finished the group stages with a 3-0 against bottom-placed Botswana.

Ghana met host nation Rwanda in the promotional play-offs final and won 3-0 to move into Group III from Group IV.

The four-day competition took place between Wednesday, July 26 and Saturday, July 29.

The Golden Rackets suffered demotion to Group IV – the lower tier of the Davis Cup Africa – in 2019.

With their promotion now to Group III, they are two steps away from the top-tier competition.

The team arrived at the Kotoka International Airport on Sunday and would be regrouping for upcoming competitions.
