For context, Quebec is a province in Canada which is 67% bigger than the whole of Nigeria, and for the Nigerian wonderkid to have been selected among those youngsters means she is doing something really fantastic.
Nana’s dad who shared the bit of news with Nigeria Tennis Live stated: “Rose was invited to try out to be part of the Team Quebec 12 years olds and she was selected.
“Because she is one of two who are the youngest, it is expected that she would be with the team for 2 years, which is 2025 and 2026 when she will still be 12”.
