data-end=\"353\">Nigeria\u2019s men\u2019s tennis team has written a new chapter in the country\u2019s sporting history, qualifying for the Davis Cup World Group II for the first time in nearly three decades after a hard-fought 3\u20131 victory over Uzbekistan in Lagos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"353\"><span id=\"more-134893\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"355\" data-end=\"618\">The decisive World Group II Playoffs tie was staged over two days at the iconic <strong data-start=\"435\" data-end=\"496\">Lagos Lawn Tennis Club 1895, Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan<\/strong>, with Nigeria overturning an early setback to outclass their higher-ranked opponents in front of a passionate home crowd.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"699\"><\/h3>\n<h3

Fightback<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"701\" data-end=\"947\">The two-day encounter began with an early advantage for the visitors as <strong data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"804\">Khumoyun Sultanov (ATP 615)<\/strong> defeated Nigeria\u2019s <strong data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"839\">Canice Abua<\/strong> in straight sets, 6\u20133, 6\u20134, handing <strong data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"916\">Uzbekistan, ranked 49th in the world<\/strong>, the opening point of the tie.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1105\">Nigeria responded immediately in the second rubber through their number one player, <strong data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1051\">Daniel Adeleye<\/strong>, who produced a gritty comeback to level the contest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1317\">Despite battling cramps, Adeleye recovered from losing the opening set to defeat <strong data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1212\">Abdelaziz Usmonjonov<\/strong> 4\u20136, 6\u20132, 6\u20134, restoring parity for the home side and igniting belief inside the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1385\"><\/h3>\n<h3 data-start=\"1324\"

data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1505\">Denis Istomin<\/strong> teamed up with Sultanov to face the Nigerian duo of <strong data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1594\">Canice Abua and Michael Emmanuel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1698\">Against expectations, the Abuja-based pair stood firm against the experienced Uzbekistani combination.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1944\">Nigeria forced the opening set into a tiebreak and held their nerve, winning it <strong data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1787\">7\u20133<\/strong> to take the set <strong data-start=\"1804\" data-end=\"1815\">7\u20136 (3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1944\">One crucial break of serve in the second set was enough to seal a famous <strong data-start=\"1890\" data-end=\"1905\">6\u20134 victory<\/strong>, giving Nigeria a 2\u20131 lead in the tie.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1993\"><\/h3>\n<h3 data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1993\"><\/h3>\n<h3 data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1993\"><strong data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"1993\">Daniel Adeleye Delivers the Knockout Blow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2148\">With qualification on the line, Uzbekistan turned to <strong data-start=\"2048\" data-end=\"2075\">Ilya Ignatov (ATP 1945)<\/strong> for the reverse singles, but standing in his way once again was Adeleye.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2322\">Ignatov started strongly, racing to a 2\u20130 lead, but buoyed by the roaring home crowd, Adeleye found his rhythm, broke serve, and surged ahead to take the first set <strong data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2321\">6\u20133<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2324\" data-end=\"2602\">The Ekiti State-born player maintained his composure in the second set, closing out a <strong data-start=\"2410\" data-end=\"2421\">6\u20134 win<\/strong> to secure Nigeria\u2019s third point and confirm a <strong data-start=\"2468\" data-end=\"2483\">3\u20131 victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2324\" data-end=\"2602\">The result promoted the <strong data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2542\">74th-ranked Nigerian team<\/strong>
