Togo is celebrating its Davis Cup victory, defeating Indonesia 3-2 in the World Group II play-offs held in Lomé, the Togolese capital.
The combination of Komlavi Loglo and Thomas Setodji qualified the country for the next round of Group II matches, which will take place in September 2024.
The captain of Togo’s David Cup team, Loglo Komlavi, was overjoyed with their victory.
“This is wonderful. I’m not sure what to say. It feels like a dream to me. Togo is solid. “We have a team that is always together,” he explained.
It’s a remarkable comeback after more than two decades away from the world tennis scene.
The comeback is due to efforts made by the national federation, which established a tennis school in Lomé that focuses significantly on training.
“I can say there have been favorable outcomes. We’re considering generating future champions. For example, my students are among those competing in the Davis Cup next door,” said Bignandi Ata Reine, the centre’s physical trainer.
The Lomé tennis school for children focuses on intensive instruction and provides an environment that promotes their development.
“The centre gives us the opportunity to improve physically and technically so that we can win more tournaments,” said young player Tolissa Jude Simone Ayegnon.
At a time when Lomé’s tennis school is thriving, a Davis Cup triumph proves that Togo is writing a new chapter in tennis history.
