Moses, a Professional Tennis Registry UK certified coach thanked the management of the Lagos Country Club for accepting to hold the finals and was equally grateful to the Nigeria Tennis Federation for sanctioning the tournament stressing that the tourney has helped solidify Nigeria’s position as one of the major forces of the game in Africa particularly at the junior level.
