Nigeria secures promotion to Davis Cup Group II

Nigeria has secured promotion to Davis Cup World Group II after defeating Ghana in the first two rubbers at the ongoing Group III Africa Qualifier event.

The Nigerian pair of Christopher Bulus and Michael Emmanuel defeated the Ghanaian pair of Abraham Asaba and Isaac Nortey with identical score lines.

Bulus secured the first win with a 6-3, 6-2 win before Emmanuel finished the second rubber with the same result.

Regardless of the result in the third rubber, Nigeria has surely secured promotion to World Group II after the five-day competition ended on Saturday, 20 July 2024.

From all indications, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire will be relegated to Group IV while Benin Republic will remain in Africa Group III.

Zimbabwe and Namibia are the two other countries that will join Nigeria in World Group II after securing impressive wins at the event which started last weekend in Abuja.
