Doha 2023: Aruna Quadri Faces Tough Opposition

By Sampson Adedeji

Ahead of the World Table Tennis competition in Lusail Doha, the organiser has conducted the draws for the tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The top table tennis players will compete for honours in the tournament slated to be held between the 3rd of January and to 5th, 2024.

According to the draw released on Tuesday afternoon, Nigerian star Aruna Quadri was handed tough opposition against Brazilian Hugo Calderano.

Quadri is not alien to Brazilian International as both players met on one of the tours in 2023.

Escaping Calderano means Quadri will have to face World number Fan Zhendong or Croatia International Darko Jorgic.

Getting to a respectable round will improve the confidence of the African champions after a dismal outing towards the tail end of 2023.
