Quadre, meanwhile, crushed Cote d’Ivoire’s Blanche Minet 6-0, 6-1 on Centre Court.

After title-triumphs in Megrine and Cotonou, Oyinlomo Quadre will play for her third ITF title of the season on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Abayomi Philips marched into the boys singles final as he looks to add the J5 Abuja title to the GTFLifetime Athletic Open title he won in Accra, Ghana, 3 months ago.

The top seed defeated Wilson Igbinovia 6-1, 6-3 in just under an hour. After easing through the first set, a break in the 7th game of the second set gave Philips a 4-3 lead. Another in the 9th game saw the 17-year-old secure his place in the final, where he will play Musa Mohammed.

Musa Mohammed came through against 3rd seed, Emmanuel Jebutu.

Both players had traded breaks early in the opening set, before Mohammed carved out the all-important break in the 11th game for 6-5 and then consolidated with a hold to take the set. A break in the second game of the second set was enough for Jebutu, who held firm to take the set and force a decider.

The decisive service break came in the 10th game of the final set, and after Mohammed spurned his first match point at 5-4, he made no mistake with the second.

Mohammed was also took on doubles duty today, alongside his partner, Desmond Ayaaba of Ghana. The duo capped off a fine week of partnership with boys doubles title, following a 7-6(2), 2-6, 10-6 victory over Gabriel Friday and Assil Boussayri.
