Nigeria’s top table tennis player, ARUNA QUADRI has exited the International Table Tennis World Cup after losing by 1-3 to Portuguese MARCOS FREITAS in the group stage.

The men’s singles game at the Galaxy Arena in Macao, China, saw the Portuguese claim the first three sets, but a comeback from the ARUNA in the last set was not enough to scale over the line.

ARUNA had started his campaign at the World Cup on a good note with a 4-0  convincing win over Puerto Rico’s DANIEL GONZALEZ to set the final group 15 tie against FREITAS.

With ARUNA falling short, FREITAS will face TOMOKAZU HARIMOTO of Japan in the Round of 16 today.
