The pair triumphed over John David and Godgift Timibra in a closely contested round of 16 match, winning with scores of 6-4, 7-6(5) at Court 4 of the National Tennis Centre yesterday.

The first set was tightly contested, remaining level at 2-2 until Jeremiah and Sani-Inabo managed to break their opponents’ serve, ultimately taking the set 6-4. The second set was equally intense, culminating in a tiebreak after finishing at 6-6, which the duo secured with a score of 7-6(5), thereby earning their place in the last eight.

Jeremiah and Sani-Inabo are set to face the formidable duo of Daniel Adeleye and Abubakar Yusuf in the quarterfinals. The latter pair demonstrated their strength by comfortably defeating Endurance Ehiegiamusoe and Saidu Sani-Inabo with a scoreline of 6-1, 6-2 in their previous match.

Following their victory, Benjamin Jeremiah expressed his satisfaction with the outcome: “The game was fine, it went well, and we’re happy with the win. This is my first time playing in this specific doubles competition, although I’ve competed in senior events before. Unfortunately, I didn’t progress far in the singles, getting knocked out in the qualifying rounds,” he remarked.
