Tennis Kenya has admitted to a mistake in granting a wildcard to Egyptian player Hajar Abdelkader for the ITF W35 Nairobi tournament after her lopsided 6-0, 6-0 loss went viral. Abdelkader struggled with basic skills, serving 20 double faults and winning only three points in a 37-minute match. Tennis Kenya stated the wildcard was awarded based on her application and the need for a full draw, but acknowledged in hindsight it should not have been granted and will ensure such an occurrence is prevented in the future.
