The 47th edition of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)‑sponsored Senior Tennis Championship opened yesterday at the Tennis Complex, Package B, Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

The event will conclude with a grand final on June 20 at the same venue.

Competitors will contest men’s and women’s singles and doubles matches, as well as wheelchair events for both genders, featuring some of the country’s top tennis talent.

The championship continues to demonstrate the CBN’s commitment to youth development, sporting excellence, and the promotion of tennis throughout Nigeria.
