Seyi Ogunsakin has continued to prove that he has what it takes to dominate Nigerian tennis, even though he still a teenager.
The Ekiti-born hard hitting tennis youngster has ticked all the boxes in the first phase of matches at the ongoing SAPETRO Futures Tennis Championship in Lagos, where he has won all his matches so far.
And barring any unforeseen circumstance, Ogunsakin will be on his way to the finals of the highly-competitive Boys’ U-16 event which will see a lot of fireworks on display by his eventual opponent.

Like Ogunsakin, Goodluck Tersoo is maintaining his pre-tournament hype as one of the youngsters to realign Nigerian tennis with what is obtainable on the global stage.
In the Boys’ U-14 event, the Benue-born player who recently won the Adewale Isa Foundation Tennis Championship and Gbolahan Odele Tennis events in Lagos, keeps holding sway and keeps proving to be the player to beat.

However, against Peter Festus on Wednesday, he was reminded that other youngsters are also eyeing his title and will give everything they have to unseat him.
The Ekiti-born Festus took a set off Tersoo, a development which spurred the Abuja-based player to life and this may have propelled him to go all out and win in the two remaining sets.
As the SAPETRO Futures Tennis event peaks at the National Stadium on Thursday, all the semifinalists will be determined via the last set of matches while the semifinal and final matches will move to Ikoyi Club on Friday and Saturday.
