Angella Okutoyi (born 29 January 2004) is a Kenyan professional tennis player.
She 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 two singles and four doubles titles. Playing for Kenya Billie Jean King Cup team, Okutoyi has a win/loss record of 16–8.[4]
