The couple now has three children; the first Mariam is three, while the second Junior Aruna Quadri is just a year-old.

This rounds up a remarkable year for the Oyo State-born tennis star who was impressive in Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Quadri beat fifth-seeded player Chih-Yuan Chuang in the third round and German Boll Timo in the fourth to make it to the quarter-finals where he lost to world number one, Long Ma.
