Aruna Quadri has started the New Year as the 18th world best player following the release of the January 2020 ranking by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).
In the rating, Quadri moved up by two steps to remain the undisputed Africa best ranked player being his best ranking in his career.
Also in the Olympic ranking released alongside the world rating yesterday, Quadri maintains his status as 18th best as well. An excited Quadri said the ranking means more hard work in the New Year.
“As long as I am happy I am starting this year with this ranking; this also means I need to continue to work harder because remaining on top is more work. So having achieved quarterfinal feat in Rio, I think medal is possible in Tokyo.
“But I am hoping to qualify soon as the qualifiers is more competitive this year. But in all this would not have been possible without the singular support from Baba Ijebu Bet, a company that kept faith with me and I have been able to attend more tournaments with the hope that I will continue to improve,” he said.
