Superstar Serena Williams asks organizers to bring Tennis tournament to Kenya 

Tennis superstar Serena Williams has asked the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) to consider setting up a tournament in Africa and Kenyan should be their first choice when scouting a place. Williams asked WTA to start an African tour and consider Kenya because it’s a beautiful place. Her own words, not mine.

Speaking to BBC, she said she has thought about before and thinks it can be an amazing thing.

“It is something I have thought about and I would like to keep thinking about it. I’m glad you brought it up because I think it would be amazing. It would be so fun – the help that we could do, and the awareness and the athletes and the amazing players that would come out of Africa would just be unbelievable,” she said. 

Loves Kenya

The WTA Tour is an elite professional tennis circuit organised by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). Williams, who is making her first return since giving birth six months ago, said Kenya is one of her favorite places.

“It’s one of my favourite places to go, so why not?” She said.
