Following her impressive performance at the NNPC/ SNEPCo Junior Championship, which ended recently in Lagos, Angel McCloud will be attending another ITF Junior Circuit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE.
McCloud, 11, who won two titles during the junior championship, is expected to travel out of the country on Friday for the week-long tournament after the ATP points she raked in at the Junior ITF Circuit held in Togo and Benin Republic makes her eligible to enter for the event.
This much was disclosed to Naija Tennis Special by Kayode Savage, a tennis coach, who hopes to travel alongside the youngster to Dubai for the tourney.
Savage stated that, “I hope to travel with McCloud to Dubai for an ITF Junior Circuit this Friday. She amassed some ATP points at the tournament in Togo and Benin Republic.
