Sani-Inabo began the match confidently, taking the first set 6-2. However, Abamu showcased his resilience by clinching the second set 7-6 after a tightly contested tiebreak. The momentum shifted again in the third set, where Sani-Inabo was leading 3-0 when Abamu was forced to retire, conceding the match.
