Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and others have greatness bestowed on them, Wordsmith mogul, William Shakespeare once stated

weekend at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan, when the inaugural
edition of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) Tennis Cup was
launched amidst pomp and pageantry.
Since retiring from the beautiful game of soccer that brought him
unprecedented fortune and fame, the former Bolton and Dortmund
midfielder has turned to tennis as his alternative sport to keep fit and
more importantly show that there is more than football to his retinue
of talents.Unlike most of his peers who after quitting soccer and have become public recluse because of putting all their eggs in one basket, Okocha, whose business acumen is legendary, has been playing tennis regularly at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, where he is even the champion in his age category.
It was this proven prowess on the tennis court that ultimately gave him the right to play the exhibition match to officially launch the historic NCC Tennis Cup, a first of its kind tennis league, where the winning team walks away with a princely sum of N5m.
Although he lost the match, the former PSG maestro showed flashes of brilliance, reminiscent of the great days that he bewitched us with his soccer wizardry on the soccer pitch. He appeared to be in control in the first set but somehow gave up his comfortable lead, allowing his opponent from the NCC to level up and take the set.
