And Kantanshi Tennis Club players saw a sibling affair as the sensation star twins clashed in the final with Isabel Chisongo beating the younger Christabel Chisongo 6-3 6-4.
The twins said that despite coming out on top during the Mike Mambwe tournament that took place in Ndola, their goal is to keep working hard so that they can improve their skills.
And Zambia Tennis Association-ZTA-President Gibson Phiri said there is need for stakeholders to tap into the potential Mufulira has in terms of tennis as a sport.
