Serena And Venus Williams Scheduled To Visit Nigeria.

Tennis greats Serena and Venus Williams will be visiting Nigeria,as part of their planned African tour which would commence from October 30 to November 2.

Both Grand Slam winners will visit Lagos to inspire, motivate and mentor a broad range of audiences through a series of support initiatives, including a gala dinner, a tennis clinic and an exhibition match, which will also be the first time in history that the Williams sisters will play against each other on the tennis court anywhere in Africa.

Managing Director of Connect Marketing Services,Tunji Adeyinka,the company responsible for the Nigerian angle of the Williams sister’s tour in Nigeria,said the mission behind the tour is to inspire self-belief in people.

“breaking The Mould is an inspiring mechanism to help women at various life stages of their lives embark on a journey of self-belief to make them know they can achieve anything.

“The message of the African Tour by the Williams sisters will resonate with African women as a whole, who are often the champions of change, and encourage more women to do the same. Indeed, we are proud to implement Breaking The Mould in Nigeria.

“Venus and Serena’s story serves to boost the morale of athletes and business people alike.”

The organisers are equally looking at using the tour to boost tourism in the country. It will definitely be a huge event to have the Williams sisters who have over twenty Grand Slam titles between,come to Nigeria.
