“WIPHOLD is a proud supporter of South African tennis, and we are delighted to be associated with this world-class tournament,” said WIPHOLD co-founder and Executive Chairman Louisa Mojela, a former nominee of the Leading Woman Entrepreneur of the World award. WIPHOLD is an official supporter of women’s tennis in the country and provides financial assistance to high performance women’s tennis. The prestigious contest, which will again attract some of the world's best players, will be named after WIPHOLD, South Africa's premier black women-owned and managed investment company. The second tournament, one of only two $60 000 level events in Africa and the continent's largest ITF women's tournament, will return for the second consecutive year. “I wish all the participants the best of luck and I know this tournament will give rising SA stars a chance to display their immense potential,” added Kloss “These tournaments are critical because they offer South African players an opportunity to earn valuable international ranking points on their home turf without incurring the high costs and associated stresses of international travel. “It is an honour to be associated with such a high-profile tournament once again which gives local players an opportunity to shine against international competitors,” said Kloss, a living legend of South African sport.
