Third seed and former Nigerian number one female tennis player, Quadri Oyinlomo has emerged winner of the 2nd edition DavNotch national tennis open championship.

She did so by humbling second seed Aanu Aiyegbusi 6/0 who retired in the final decided yesterday at the tennis complex located at the Package B of the MKO Abiola national stadium in Abuja.

The defeat was no doubt aided by the health condition of Aiyegbusi who complained of stomach upset.

Reacting to her victory, Oyinlomo who expressed her happiness said she won due to her mental fitness as revealed that her physical fitness was not 100 percent.

“I am just trying to come to the local scene after some time out playing only international Tennis by prioritising the events I attended. I also had about seven months of injury lay off,” she said.

Oyinlomo explained that her focus is to return to the top and establish herself as the country’s leading player.

She also said her toughest match in the championship was the semi-final tie against her arch-rival Marylove Edwards who is her doubles partner.
