ITTF Nigeria Open: Frenchman Brossier eager to contend for title
Benjamin Brossier of France has already confirmed his participation in the ITTF Challenge Seamaster Nigeria Open but the Frenchman is hoping that Lagos being an unfamiliar terrain will bring good tidings.
The competition is set to take place at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos from August 8 to 12, 2018.
Having missed the 2017 edition, Brossier believes he is ready to be part of the party in the bustling city of Lagos.
“I heard that there is a good and special atmosphere in the hall where the ITTF Challenge Seamaster Nigeria Open is being hosted and it was described as a unique atmosphere that you don’t see somewhere else,” Benjamin Brossier said.

“My friend was part of the tournament in 2017 and I wanted to join him but I was not available. This year it is going to be a good experience for me to be there and witness the lively atmosphere in Lagos,” he added.
However, as long as Benjamin Brossier is looking forward to an exciting experience in Lagos, he is also hoping to see good organization.
“I am waiting to see a well organized tournament; a good atmosphere and I hope that I will play well to contribute to all the beautiful experience I have heard.
“This is not my first time in Africa but this is my first time in Nigeria and my target is to show a good table tennis till the last day,” Brossier said.
