Marylove Edwards: "I Want To Be The 1st Nigerian To Win A Tennis Grand Slam" by LubeyNaijaBlog: 1:26am On Jun 27, 2017 |
Prodigies are known for breaking boundaries at an early age, and that’s certainly what Nigerian tennis star, Marylove Edwards is doing. At 12 years old, she already has her name in the women singles tennis ranking of the Nigeria Tennis Federation (NTF). She was just recently ranked fourth, and no player her age has ever come this close. Marylove achieved this feat following her outstanding performance at the just concluded CBN Senior Championship in Lagos. She came into the championship as a wildcard but caused a shock by beating three older players to finish second. Edwards who has the Williams sisters as her role model, says she's ready to work very hard to actualise her life dream – to become the first Nigerian female Tennis player to win the Grand Slam. Marylove has won several titles including the Central Bank of Nigeria Open- U12 Category, the Lagos State All Secondary School event, Ikoyi Club Junior Open, NNPC Junior Open (U14), SNEPCO Junior Open, Midwestern Oil and Gas Junior Open and Gauteng North Belgrave Sportsmans Warehouse Tournament South Africa. She's definitely a talent we all should be proud of... http://www.lubeynaija.com/2017/06/i-want-to-be-1st-nigerian-to-win-tennis.html?m=1 11 Likes 2 Shares

Edwards who has the Williams sisters as her role model, says she's ready to work very hard to actualise her life dream – to become the first Nigerian female Tennis player to win the Grand Slam.I will advise her to leave Nigeria to pursue her career in the US. If she continued staying in Nigeria, she wouldn't win any Grand Slam but those Ground Slams she has been winning in Nigeria. 47 Likes |
