Tennis – Konta to face Wozniacki in Miami Open Final this weekend

The female category of the Miami Open Finals will be played Saturday between British Johanna Konta and world number 14 Caroline Wozniacki (Danish). Konta defeated 7 times glam slam winner Venus Williams (US) to reach the finals of the championship, while Wozniacki beat Czech’s Karolina Pliskova on Thursday.

Meanwhile, in the men’s category, the two semi-finals will be played Friday. The winner of Fabio Fognini (Italy) and Rafael Nadal (Spain) match will face the winner of Roger Federer (Switzerland) and Nick Kyrgios (Australia) match for the finals on Sunday. The fixtures show a possibility of a Nadal-Federer clash for the final.

Meanwhile, in Kwara State Nigeria, a tennis player Timothy Abiara slumped Thursday while training at the table tennis hall of the State Stadium Complex. Abiara represented Kwara State both at the 2011 and 2012 editions of the National Sports Festival in Port Harcourt and Lagos according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

He was playing against another player when he suddenly held his chest and started shouting, with those watching the game thinking he was reacting to a lost point.

He was rushed to the General Hospital and was confirmed dead.

Abiara, aged 45 hailed from Ogbomoso in Oyo State and was a fashion designer by profession.

He was survived by a wife and four children.

The State Commissioner for Sports, Kale Ayo, described the situation as pathetic, even as he commiserated with the family of the deceased.

The State Director of Sports, Tunde Kazeem, who also confirmed the athlete’s death, described it as a sad and unfortunate situation.

Kazeem, however, charged other athletes to always embark on regular medical check-ups.
