And the Nigerian, having done exceptionally well during the Davis Cup event in Nigeria, and helping his country gain promotion to the World Group II playoffs, is now on course to reaching even greater heights.

Bulus, whose highlight at the Davis Cup was when he defeated Benjamin Lock of Zimbabwe, a top 400 player, in Abuja, is scheduled to play a number of tournaments in the coming weeks as he looks to break the top 1000 barrier in the world tennis rankings.
