Aruna Quadri’s hopes of starting 2025 with a trophy have been shattered.
The Nigerian table tennis star advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2025 WTT Doha Contender, securing a narrow victory over Britain’s Liam Pritchard.
However, in the semi-finals, Quadri faced a tough challenge against Japan’s Tomokazu Harimoto, and the match proved to be a one-sided affair.
Quadri suffered a straight-set defeat, losing 11-9, 11-3, 11-5, thereby missing out on a chance to reach the final.
