Nkanyiso Sibanda of Bulawayo and Falcon College’s Bryn Langley clash in the quarter-finals of the GC Tennis Centre Singles League tournament at the Bulawayo Athletic Club (BAC) this morning.

Langley was third in Pool B to qualify for the play-offs and beat Adam Joelson 8-6 and Raggs Joelson 6-1 to pull through to the quarter-final.
Rennie Chikunichawa of Bulawayo clashes with Gavin Magenga of Midlands State University in the other quarter-final. Chikunichawa was position one in Pool A with 14 points, while Magenga came out on the second spot in Pool C with 10 points.
The other quarter-final pits Thesly Mafunda of GC, winner of Pool B with 12 points and Adam Joelson, who took position two in the play-offs after beating Raggs 6-3 and losing 6-8 to Langley.
