The 2018 CBN Junior Open Tennis Championship will serve off on April 2 at the National Stadium, Lagos and end on April 7 at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Race Course.

The CBN Junior Championship, which is, without doubt, the flagship of the Nigerian junior circuit, will be featuring four categories – 10s, 12s, 14s & 16s – for boys and girls with players coming from all over the nation.

According to the Director of the International Tennis Academy (ITA), organisers of the championship, Godwin Kienka, entries started coming in before the dates were announced and the early rounds are taking place at the National Stadium because of logistics and traffic consideration as most of the players based in Lagos stay on the mainland.
