Nurudeen Isa, son of the late Alhaji Adewale Isa and Director of the Adewale Isa Foundation, said to Nigeria Tennis Live: “In a bid to immortalize and honor the memory of our sister, Arinola Isa, we came up with renaming the consolation prizes that are won by the third-placed athletes after her.
She is one of the people Nigerians cannot forget in a haste because of her impact in Nigerian tennis and even across the globe, and as a family, we just thought it wise to honour her memory in this manner, among other ways. The award will now be called ‘The Arinola Isa Consolation Prize’ and it will be given to players who come third in each of the categories.”
