Quadri recovered after losing two sets to beat Assar 4-3 in the final of the 2017 ITTF Africa in Agadir, Morocco to win the championship.

With this win, the 28-year-old has now qualified for the 2017 ITTF World Cup. Quadri played without a coach at the ITTF Africa Cup.

The Nigerian was impressive in the tournament where he beat Algeria’s Naim Karali in the quarter-finals, taking four sets from five.

In the semis, he was too much to handle for Egyptian El -Beiali Mohamed.

In the women’s category, Nigeria’s Funke Oshonaike lost to Egypt’s Dina Meshref in the final.

Meshref will represent Africa at the ITTF World Cup in France.
