The 2015 NNPC/Chevron Tennis Clinic enters its fourth day at the National Stadium, Lagos on Thursday with some of the Nigeria junior national players showing lots of improvements ahead of their busy schedule for the country in the coming weeks.
Mathew Abamu, Michael Ayoola, Michael Osewa and Angel Mcleod -all of whom are bound to take part in international tournaments for Nigeria in Morocco and Togo between August and September – were among the players that have their playing skills sharpened under the watch of Mr. Chris Enahoro, the coordinator of the programme which is attracting about 80 players.
Enahoro expressed delight in the constant progress being made by some of the players with conviction that the future of the game in Nigeria is bright.
NTF president Engr Sani Ndanusa commended the programme which he pointed has helped in no small measure in producing some of the country’s junior players.
In some of the warm up matches played to wrap up the day’s training session which saw players mostly put through their serving skills, Abamu defeated his Morocco-bound compatriot, Mcleod 7-5 while Olumide Ayoola also beat Emmanuel Jebutu 7-4. The matches were in played in tie-breaks.
The clinic which will end on August 29 is a prelude to the tournament proper billed for 4-10th of October in Lagos.
