Mufu Atllola and Roseline Nana, playing in the Girls 12 of the Sapetro Futures Tennis Championship taking place at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, had easy wins against their opponents to signal their determination to stay on course for another show down in the finals.
The two players are striking up a rivalry to watch.
Atilola from the Lagos lawn Tennis Club took full advantage of the home setting and a band of club supporters to overrun Grace Alex from Ekiti State 9-0. Not to be outdone, Nana also from Lagos played a determined match and dropped only one game against Suunter Ahenjir from Benue.
In the Boys 16, Kater Kpum from Benue outclassed Testimony Godwin 9-0 while Henry Aina from Ondo beat Mathew Osagie 9-2.
The most interesting match of the day was in the Boys 14 where Calabar-based Damilola Agunbiade gave Nathaniel Aluko from the Country Club Lagos a tough fight in a match where the scores did not reflect the competitiveness.
The round robin phase is expected to end on Thursday with all competitors given the opportunity to play a minimum of three matches..
The group winners go through for the semifinals.
