Rwandans storm Dar semis

As Gasigwa gets knocked out CAT/ Tanzania money circuit (US$4,500) Today Semi-finalsO. Nkunda v K. Kipingu (Tz)D. Habiyambere v Mukina (Tz) Dieudonne Habiyambere and Olivier Nkunda are into the last four of the CAT / Tanzania money circuit being held at Dar es Salaam’s Gymkhana sports club. Habiyambere dislodged Tanzania’s Jacob Rembris 6-2, 6-3 while Olivier Nkunda fought hard before securing a 6-3, 7-6 victory over Kenya’s experienced Francois Rogoi. It was however a forgettable afternoon for Rwanda’s top seed Jean Claude Gasigwa. The tennis ace was stunned with a 2-6, 3-6 defeat against another home boy Omar Abdul. Gasigwa was Abdul’s second Rwandan victim after Mathieu Uwizeyimana in the second round. Gasigwa was however quick to blame a niggling pain in his left leg for the elimination. “It was difficult for me to move freely on court because of that injury I picked up in Nairobi. Abdul knew it and took full advantage of it,” he told Times Sport on phone. There is a possibility of an all Rwandan final should Nkunda and Habiyambere win their semi-final ties today. Nkunda takes on Kiango Kipingu while Habiyambere is up against Abdul. Ends
