The players from Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, India, South Africa, among other countries are attending the 15th edition of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) sanctioned tournament with their loved ones as one of the most recognised circuits in west and central Africa.
All the Nigerian players participating in the Futures 3 & 4 event have been knocked out by their more experienced foreign counterparts.
Naij.com’s photojournalist, who has been a regular at the tournament, took pictures of some moments aside the tennis event and presents them thus:
