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.
I agreed but she sometimes go to the state for training

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...

If she's really serious about her dream, make she kuku find way to comot this country sharp sharp. Nigeria is a cemetery of dreams & visions. Dem go just frustrate the girl till she tire.

sorry dear but you have no chance. For you to even play in a grand slam tournament you have to have a good enough WTA ranking, which is gotten by playing a lot of master tournament or getting a wildcard, by winning a master tournament with a low ranking

She has a chance.. She's got a lot of potentials and fortunately for her she's schooling in a sports academy in Florida now, sponsored by Templegate.
