Shortly thereafter, Edun David Damilare claimed Nigeria’s second gold in the boys’ singles, delivering a gritty and determined performance that earned him a hard-fought victory.

In the girls’ doubles final, the Adekunle sisters, Precious and Cynthia, put forth a strong showing but ultimately settled for a silver medal, adding to both their family’s and Nigeria’s medal tally.

In the mixed doubles final, Edun David partnered with Cynthia Adekunle, and the duo delivered an impressive performance that secured Team Nigeria another silver medal.
