Venus and Serena Williams are touring Africa and visited the Nigerian city of Lagos this week.

They hope to inspire young girls and emphasise the role of women in African development.

They have been holding a couple of coaching clinics for young kids in a bid to raise awareness for tennis in Nigeria.

BBC Africa's Tomi Oladipo was in Lagos and attended one of the sisters' coaching session.
