Captain Rakuom confident as Kenya lands tough Davis Cup pool
Ismael Changawa plays his forehand to his opponent Ibrahim Kibet during Tennis Kenya Senior Challenge series final at Nairobi Club on December 1, 2020.
The Kenyan squad features a mix of experience and youth, with Ismael Changawa (29) and Albert Njogu (24) leading the charge alongside Kael Shah (20) and debutants Raymond Riziki and Brandon Sagala (both 20).
Missing from last year’s lineup are Ibrahim Kibet, Keean Shah, Derick Ominde, and former coach George Oyoo.
Kenya has been drawn into a challenging Pool 'B' alongside Côte d’Ivoire, Burundi, and Gabon for the 2025 Davis Cup Africa Group IV scheduled for Wednesday in Luanda, Angola.
Led by new captain and coach Peter Rakuom, the team acknowledges the difficulty of their group, but remains determined to secure one of two promotion spots to Group III during the four-day competition.
