Williams sisters, Venus and Serena on Wednesday taught tennis basics to youngsters at a clinic held at the Ikoyi Club 1938.
The sisters who
arrived in the country on Tuesday were accompanied by their mother
Oracene and other relatives.
The sisters had some interesting rallies
with some of the youngsters who put up great efforts against the tennis
icons.
Some of the kids expressed their delight at the opportunity to
play the tennis stars. One youngster that did exceedingly well against
Serena got a hug from the newly crowned WTA Paribas champion.
The
youngster, incidentally named Serena Teluwo, was delighted at her
performance and expressed her readiness to play at the highest
level.
"I feel great playing Serena. I would love to play tennis when I
grow up," she said.
Serena also handed
Teluwo her cap for her outstanding performance.The sisters' tour of
Lagos continues today, Thursday, November 1 with a visit to Osbourne
Government College and a gala dinner at the Federal Palace Hotel.
