Clifford Enosoregbe (born 19 October 1990) is a Nigerian former professional tennis player.

Born in Edo State, Enosoregbe started out in tennis as a ballboy and developed an interest from there. He was member of the Nigeria Davis Cup team between 2013 and 2017, registering wins in five singles rubbers. At the 2011 All-Africa Games in Maputo he teamed up with Onyeka Mbanu to win a doubles gold medal in an all Nigerian final. He was the year-end Nigerian number one on multiple occasions.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Clifford Enosoregbe” is nigerian tennis player. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Clifford, Enosoregbe and Nigerian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “nigerian tennis player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q114655501. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2013, 2017 and 2011.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
