Nigeria Suffer 2-1 Defeat to Tunisia, Promotion Hopes Take a Blow at Billie Jean Cup

Nigeria’s hopes of gaining promotion at the Billie Jean Cup suffered a setback after the women’s team lost 2-1 to Tunisia in their latest group match.

Tunisia, who were beaten 2-1 by Botswana in their opening game on Friday, bounced back with a strong display to record their first win of the competition.

The North Africans made the most of their chances and produced a disciplined performance to earn all three points and keep their promotion hopes alive.

The defeat leaves Nigeria with a difficult task in the group. The team must now beat Botswana in their final group match to remain in the race for promotion.
