Angella Okutoyi (born 29 January 2004) is a Kenyan professional tennis player. She has a career-high WTA singles ranking of No. 476, achieved on 12 January 2026 and a doubles ranking of No. 236, also on 12 January 2026.
Okutoyi became the first Kenyan to win a Grand Slam title at the girls’ juniors Wimbledon event, partnering Rose Marie Nijkamp.[1] At the 2022 Australian Open, Okutoyi became the first representative of Kenya to win a girls’ junior singles Grand Slam match.[2]
In the 2023 African Games, she claimed the gold medal after defeating Lamis Alhussein Abdel Aziz in the final. Earlier in the semis, she upset the top seed world No.70, Mayar Sherif. She then partnered with Cynthia Cheruto Wanjala to win silver in the doubles final after losing to Sandra Samir and Merna Refaat.[3] Okutoyi became only the second Kenyan player to win gold at the African games after Jane Davies-Doxzon achieved the feat in 1978.
On the ITF Circuit, she has won four singles and 13 doubles titles. Playing for Kenya Billie Jean King Cup team, Okutoyi has a win/loss record of 16–8.[4]
Okutoyi and her sister were raised by their grandmother Mary as their mother died in childbirth.[5] Her sister Roselinda Asumwa is also a tennis player, playing ITF futures and local tournaments.
Junior career
Angella participated in the 2022 Australian Open bracket. She defeated Italian qualifier Federica Urgesi in three sets in the first round, and she continued her form against Australian qualifier Zara Larke in the second round, winning in three sets. She lost her third round match against Serbian player Lola Radivojević, 3–6, 2–6, but her performance made her the first Kenyan in the world to progress to a third round in a major.[6][7] At Wimbledon, Okutoyi won the girls' doubles title with Rose Marie Nijkamp.[5]
Professional career
Okutoyi became the first Kenyan player to win an ITF singles title when she defeated Isabella Harvison in the final at the W15 Monastir in July 2023. She was also the first player from her country to win any professional singles championship since Paul Wekesa claimed the Andorra Challenger in 1994.[8][9]
She won her second ITF title at the W25 Nairobi in December 2023, defeating Lena Papadakis in the final.[10][11]
