If you thought Nigeria was a place where you can find a scam, here is one that isnt a scam. There is an ITF tennis tourney going on there and Indians have gotten off to a good start there. Rushmi Chakravarthy and Isha Lakhani have made winning starts while another two Sann Bhambri and Parija Maloo have lost. Ankita Bhambri is yet to play her match though.
Rushmi Chakravarthi and Isha Lakhani made winning starts at the USD 25,000 ITF event in Lagos, Nigeria even as curtains were drawn on the campaigns of Sanna Bhambri and Parija Maloo.
Rushmi hardly broke a sweat in beating South African Eden D’oliveira 6-1 6-1 while reigning national champion and third seed Isha outsmarted compatriot Prerana-Mythri Appineni 6-2 6-1 in her opening round match.
Sixth seed Julia Glushko from Israel sent Sanaa packing by inflicting a 6-4 6-1 defeat on the Indian.
Parija went down fighting against Thailand’s fourth seed Montinee Tangphong 3-6 4-6.
Ankita Bhambri will open her campaign against eighth seed Russian Elena Chalova
