With defending Champion Jeff Bagerbaseh having ease over the last couple of tournaments, Jeff bagerbaseh entered as many pundits' favorite. After putting up exciting performance at the opening ceremony, there's no reason to alter that view.

Francisca Nyarko was just as successful, beating Stella Essilfie in just 55 minutes. The rest of the favorites on the women's side faired much better..

In addition to Francisca, No.2 Annett Cruickshank and Former No.1 Kate Coleman each won in straight sets, looking extremely dominant in the process.

Felix Hammond would have to upset Ghana’s No.15 Charles Abugbila No. 7 for that happen, but it's safe to say the Winneba baseb just earned a lot more fans for his opener.
