South Africa’s Chanel Simmonds has booked her place in the singles final at the African Games and guaranteed that Team SA will walk away with a medal in the tennis category after she beat third-seeded Sandra Samir from Egypt with a winning score of 6-2, 6-2.
The match that took place on the clay courts at the ONCF Club saw Simmonds add pressure on her opponent and was more aggressive in her play as her opponent allowed her to play her game, which was a bonus.
