Quadri Aruna of Nigeria has once again risen to the top, reclaiming his position as Africa’s highest-ranked table tennis player. The latest ITTF (International Table Tennis Federation) rankings show Aruna at number 18 in the world, surpassing Egypt’s Omar Assar. This achievement underscores Aruna’s continued dominance in African table tennis and his impact on the global stage.
Aruna’s journey has been marked by significant milestones. He holds the distinction of being the first African player to break into the world’s top 10. His recent performance at the WTT Contender in Doha, where he reached the semi-finals, further solidified his position.

As he looks forward, Aruna is set to participate in the WTT Contender Chennai after a late call-up.
Aruna’s success serves as an inspiration to aspiring table tennis players across Africa. His dedication and skill have not only brought him personal accolades but have also elevated the profile of African table tennis globally.
