    Nigeria gained promotion to Davis Cup World Group II playoffs after an impeccable performance at the recent Africa Group III Qualifiers in Abuja.

    The host nation parading the likes of Christopher Bulus, Michael Emmanuel, Uche Oparaoji, Daniel Adeleye and Wilson Igbinovia, lost only to Namibia (0-3) in the entire tournament.

    Ahead of the tournament, Nigeria was ranked 92 in the world, and was the lowest ranked of the six nations that participated in the week-long tennis event in Nigeria’s federal capital.

    However, Nigeria dusted the likes of Cote d’Ivoire, Benin Republic, Ghana and Zimbabwe with outstanding performances and qualify for the World Group II playoffs, scheduled for February, 2025, to move up the pecking order.

    Christopher Bulus

    In the recently-released Davis Cup ranking by the ITF, Nigeria Tennis Live gathered that Nigeria has now overtaken Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire and Benin Republic, to stand among the top nations from the continent.

    From being the 92nd ranked tennis nation on earth, Nigeria is now ranked 82 and entered the top ten tennis playing nations in Africa.

    Only Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Togo are ahead of Nigeria in that order, as the country continues moving towards an upward scale in tennis in recent years.

    Davis Cup Team Nigeria

    Recall that Nigeria only gained promotion to Africa Group III after years of languishing in Africa Group IV and followed that up, remarkably too, with a solid promotion to World Group II playoffs within a year.

    As at the time of filing this report, it could not be ascertained whom Nigeria’s opponent at the World Group II playoffs will be, however, Nigeria Tennis Live will keep in touch with Davis Cup to find out whom our next opponents will be.
