Nigeria’s number one female tennis player, Khadijat Mohammed, was at her impeccable best during her quarterfinal match against Habiba Habib from Egypt.
Mohammed, obviously disappointed after her loss in the first leg, atoned for the miss and went all ballistic against the J30 Abuja first leg finalist.
The 2025 Rainoil National Tennis Championship Women’s Singles Winner started with a perfect 6-2 win in the first set before being pegged back with a 3-6 win by her opponent, setting the match for an interesting final set finale.
