Due to his inconsistent performance in competitions, Nigeria's table tennis star Aruna Quadri has dropped one spot in the latest International Table Tennis Federation Rankings for men, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Aruna missed the competition which was held in Lagos due to injury after having a decent outing in the Durban series.

Despite the drop in ranking, the Nigeria international still ranked top in Africa and is closely followed by Omar Assar of Egypt who is placed 23rd in the world.

Fast-rising Nigerian teenage prodigy, Taiwo Mati, made a significant leap in the rankings as he chalked up 13 places to finish the month in 63rd position after recording 272 points in June.
