Nigeria's top-ranked tennis player Canice Abua expressed confidence that his team can defeat Morocco in their upcoming Davis Cup World Group II tie. The team will compete in a September 19-20 match at the Union Sportive des Cheminots de Tennis du Maroc. Abua, along with Daniel Adeleye, Michael Emmanuel, and Abubakar Yusuf, formed the playing team under coach Benson Ishicheli.
Abua, speaking to Nigerian journalist Phatill during a training session in Lagos, urged fans back home to support the team and expressed his belief that they will secure a win. Team Nigeria previously earned their spot in World Group II by defeating Uzbekistan 3-1 in February, with Abua playing a key role in the comeback. Following the tie being level at 1-1 after the opening singles matches, Abua partnered with Emmanuel to win the doubles rubber, and Adeleye sealed the victory with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Ilya Ignatov.
Abua, who recently won the CBN Tennis Championship, attributed his success to hard work and dedication.
