Quadri makes history, tops Commonwealth ranking

Idris Adesina
Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri has become the first African table tennis player to top the ranking of players in the Commonwealth.
The 28-year-old, who is currently ranked first in Africa by the International Table Tennis Federation, on Wednesday set the record after the Technical Committee of the Commonwealth Table Tennis Federation, released their ranking for the month of May.
Quadri, who has been playing second fiddle to players from Singapore, became the highest rated player among players from the Commonwealth nations. Among the 277 players listed in the ranking, Quadri garnered 2385 points to beat Singapore’s Gao Ning, who has 2384 to second place. England’s Pitchford Liam has 2277 points to occupy third spot on the ranking list.
Africa’s most decorated star, Segun Toriola is rated 12th with 2014 points behind players from India, Canada and England. Also, Bode Abiodun is ranked 22nd with 1822 points.
Prior to the May ranking, Quadri had been playing second fiddle to Gao Ning and as it is, Quadri remains the best player among the players from the Commonwealth nations.
In the women ranking, no Nigerian made the top 20 list as Edem Offiong and Olufunke Oshonaike were ranked 23 and 26 respectively.
Meanwhile, Quadri aided his French team, Jura Morez, to remain in the elite division of the prestigious French Table Tennis League. But it was not same story for Egypt’s Omar Assar as his club, Istres were relegated.
With this development, Assar will be campaigning in the lower division of the league next season.
