Though she did not win any medal, she had gained International Tennis Federation (ITF) ranking points to enhance her chances of qualifying for Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
In an interview with the GNA Sports, Dr. Henry Larbi, Coordinator of the Ghana Wheelchair Tennis said it was a great performance from Dzidzienyo after the athlete went on break since 2020.
He said Dzidzienyo had gained another ITF ranking points now and Ghana Tennis Federation would continue to support him in such international tournaments.
