The 2019 Vemp National Open came to a close on Saturday at the National Tennis Centre in Abuja, following a week of gripping tennis action in four different categories.

Here are those who claimed top honours:

Sylvester Emmanuel came into the event on the back of a title-run at the Rainoil Open and did well to maintain the momentum all through the week-long hard-court event.

The 21-year-old didn’t drop a set until the final against Joseph Imeh, where he lost the first set. He, however, regrouped in good time to keep things at 2-6, 6-4 before Imeh retired due to a groin injury.

In the women’s singles, Oyinlomo Quadre powered through the draw to reach her 4th straight final and then made light work of Christie Agugbom, winning 6-1, 6-0 to claim the title.

The 16-year-old, ranked No. 1 in the country, had capped off a dominant 2019 season on the national scene, in which she won all titles.
