Rising Tennis Star Angela Okutoyi has won the January SJAK sports personality of the month.
Okutoyi, 18, became the first Kenyan girl to win a match in the Australian Junior Open Championship and the first to go past the second round at a Grand Slam tournament.
For winning the monthly award Okutoyi took home an LG Artificially Intelligent washing machine.
“January was such a good month for Kenyan Tennis and myself after I won a match at the Australian Grand Slam. We have come from far and I am proud to have lifted the Kenyan flag high,” said Okutoyi through a recorded video from Morocco.
Rising tennis star Okutoyi scooped the award after beating three other nominees in Daniel Simiyu, who won the Valencia 10k, Shujaa’s Vincent Onyala and middle-distance runner Norah Jeruto.
