Yakubu, who was unlucky to have been drawn against the national number two seed in her first game, got her first baptism of fire when she was bundled out in two straight sets, 6-0, 6-0. Agugbom faces Favour Moser in the quarterfinals, while Samuel will meet unseeded Omotayo Osewa in the round of eight. In the men’s doubles, men’s top seed, Sylvester Emmanuel paired with Clifford Enosoregbe to beat the duo of upcoming junior players, David John and Godgift Timibre in two straight sets. The men’s number two seed, Imeh Joseph and Christian Paul also beat the pair of Samuel Jonah and Kayode Savage 6-4, 6—4 to advance to men’s doubles round of 16. Action will commence in that wheelchair category today.
