Shamim Bangi has a big chance of winning her first international tournament of the year at the ongoing Nigeria Badminton International.
Bangi who came to this tournament ranked 5th, takes on the tournament 6th seed from Hungary Martina Repiska on Saturday.
“I have seen her play and she is a little bit experienced than me,” said Bangi. “All the three opponents I have played so far have been hard but I came out on top, I have the confidence I will come up on top again,” she added.
The local top seed has so far won all her three games in straights, defeating Amin Yop Christopher 21-8, 21-9 in the first round.
She later saw off Solademi Oluwatosin 21:9, 21-12 in the second before eliminating tournament top seed Elme De Velliers 21-14, 21-15 in the quarters.
