Next on court, Maxwell Antwi produced a composed and confident performance against Binga Mercelino. Keeping control of the rallies and minimizing errors, Maxwell took the match 6–1, 6–4, giving Ghana an unassailable 2–0 lead. His consistency and tactical discipline continue to be key pillars of the team’s success in Morocco.

The doubles team of Jefter Dowouna and Blessing Sewornu stepped onto Court 4 intent on sealing Ghana’s dominance and they did so in style. Facing the pair of Binga Mercelino and Manuel Josue, the Ghanaian duo played with excellent coordination and purposeful net play, winning 6–4, 6–2. Their victory secured Ghana another perfect 3–0 result, completing a clean sweep against a determined Angolan side.

With this win, Ghana remains undefeated in the group stage, showing a level of consistency, fighting spirit, and technical sharpness that continues to impress. Their next game will see them face Morocco, the toughest opponents in Group B. Expectations are high as Ghana’s young stars aim to carry their unbeaten run forward with the same heart, skill, and deep sense of national pride.
