Zimbabwe: Tennis Team Optimistic

ZIMBABWE'S team for the Davis Cup Africa Group III qualifiers is now expected to be in Cairo, Egypt, today with playing captain Martin Dzuwa leading the four-man band. The nation will be represented by top player Takanyi Garanganga, Tinotenda Chanakira, Mark Fynn and Dzuwa. They will battle it out with players from Algeria, Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda and Zambia from Monday up to May 18.

Initially, the national association had wanted to have the team in Egypt early but due to difficulties encountered in securing visas for three players -- Dzuwa, Garanganga and Chanakira this week -- the team will only have two days to train together.
