Female Tennis players from all parts of Lagos Island are expected to be part of the open tennis competition already scheduled to take place on Saturday October 29 at the Lekki Tennis Recreation Centre at Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.

Interestingly, however, the registration for the competition has surpassed the anticipated 30 players mark as the organisers have expressed shock over the development.

The Vice President of IWTPA and the spokesperson of the body, Nora Azubuike, on Thursday stated that the anticipated 32 draw chat would now have to be extended.

Azubuike noted that some technical issues would have to be adjusted because more matches would have to be played in the one day tourney.

“Being the first edition, we were not expecting more than 30 players but many people have shown interest and we are looking at about 50 tennis players.
