Imo state-born para Tennis sensation, Chituru Nwaozuzu is excited after winning two Tennis competitions in Lagos and hoping to make it a hat trick of triumphs when she takes part in the CBN Tennis Tournament which serves off today also in Lagos.
Nwaozuzu won the VEMP Tennis Championship beating Chika Enwerem in the final in straight sets of 6-2, 6-1 before adding Devnotch Tennis Championship to her collection a few days later.
The multiple National Sports Festival Medallists told NationSport that she was motivated to attend the championships by the Imo State Commissioner for Sports, Honourable Obinna Onyeocha who ensured she attended the competitions along with Vivian Ozurumba whom she beat in the semi-final 6-1, 6-2 at the Devnotch Championship, and Immaculate Achuluiwu.

‘I have won two already and I am still going for the third which starts tomorrow (today). I am ready to give my all to ensure I win.’
