By Daily Sports Nigeria on June 18, 2026

As action continued at the ongoing 47th Central Bank of Nigeria Senior Tennis Championship, women’s top seed Mohammed Khadijat proved her rating was no fluke with a commanding 6-1, 6-0 victory over wild card entrant Agunbiade Toluwalose to book her place in the quarter-finals.

Mohammed will face Godwin Favour in the quarter-finals.

Also through to the last eight is Udofia Mary, who defeated Otu Blessing 6-1, 6-2, while Ogunjobi Success beat Samuel Gloria 6-0, 6-3 in their second-round clash to set up a quarter-final meeting with Udofia.

Omotayo Blessing, who overcame Bamidele Abosede 6-2, 6-2 in the second round, will take on second seed Emmanuel-Essien Bright for a place in the semi-finals.

Bassey Etoro will face Suwa Nenrot, who cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Olaniyan Abosede.

In the men’s singles, top seed Abua Canice defeated Sani Musa 6-4, 6-3 to book a quarter-final clash against Mohammed Dahiru, who beat Chinedu Sunday 6-1, 6-2.

Michael Chima, who defeated Sani Yahaya 6-2, 6-2, will take on wild card entrant Edward David, who progressed from the qualifying rounds into the main draw.

Men’s singles second seed, who had earlier brushed aside Ogunjiofor Onyekachi 6-1, 6-1, was still in action against another wild card entrant, Muhammed Amir, at the time of filing this report.
