Nigeria’s Quadri Aruna has set another African record following the release of the latest international table tennis federation, ITTF ranking yesterday by becoming the 13th best player in the world.

This came in less than four days after setting an African record as the first player to reach the quarter final stage at the ITTF World Table Tennis (WTT) Championships held in Houston, Texas, in the United States.

Just before the WTT, Quadri was ranked 17th in the world.

Aruna has continued to raise the bar for other African players to emulate with his superlative performance at major competitions which has also earned him a place among the top 20 players invited for the 2021 World Table Tennis (WTTF) Cup Finals scheduled for December 4 to 7 in Singapore.

 “I am so excited to improve my world ranking, and this means I must work hard to remain on top in the world. This is another task I must face in my career, and I will not relent to do my best as I look forward to the WTTF Cup Finals taking place this weekend in Singapore,” Aruna said after the ranking was released.
