It is hard to tell if it is deliberate, accidental or incidental. Whatever it is, there is an undercurrent of new development in sports. All one needs to need do to confirm this is visit the MKO Abiola National Stadium during this period and observe what\u2019s going on. Even the air is pregnant with new energy and infectious enthusiasm. Increasingly, more people are being attracted to the place despite its \u2018unfriendly\u2019 location.   The few international sports programmes that have taken place in the complex in the past few months are clearly responsible for whatever is making the public go there for recreational purposes these days.   I was at the tennis courts the other day for a round of tennis. The over-20 tennis courts in the stadium were packed with young players, coaches and social tennis players like me. There are several tennis academies there, all using the environment for the grooming of young talents.  That\u2019s where I ran into a young 16 year old girl who was hitting the balls so hard and so precisely that I was not surprised when on enquiry I learned that she is Nigeria\u2019s current number One female player. She was hitting the balls better than I had seen any other female player in all my over-40 years of observing Nigerian tennis. Kadirat Muhammed is ripe and begging for exposure to the world now."}
