Lagos is set for an exciting tennis spectacle as the Amazons Tennis Tournament 2.0 returns this March—bigger, bolder, and with a powerful new partnership that underscores the rise of African innovation in sports.

In a major development ahead of the tournament, Wimly Tennis Balls, Nigeria’s own and Africa’s first indigenous tennis ball brand, has been unveiled as the official ball partner for this year’s edition. The deal marks a historic moment, not just for the tournament, but for the continent’s growing presence in global sports manufacturing.

With a record 130 participants expected to compete, the Amazons Tournament continues to expand its influence, and this collaboration with Wimly signals a strong commitment to promoting homegrown excellence.

Speaking on the partnership, CEO Kim Opara expressed pride and excitement at the milestone:
“We are thrilled to earn this level of trust as the official ball for Amazons 2.0. For a relatively new brand, achieving this kind of visibility and acceptance so quickly is incredibly rewarding. It shows we’re on the right path.”

Wimly Tennis Balls are engineered for durability, consistent bounce, and a smooth on-court feel—qualities that make them suitable for both training sessions and high-level competition. Their inclusion in the tournament reinforces confidence in locally produced sporting equipment.
