The hope of the Nigerian table tennis sensation Aruna Quadri to reach the advance level at the World Table Tennis China Smash has been dashed.
The Nigerian Olympian zoomed into the round of 32 after a 3-1 victory against Benedek Olah and set up a clash against Anton Kallberg of Sweden.
Facing the Swedish star in the early hours of Thursday seems to be a mountain too high for Aruna to climb.
Aruna fell 3-1 to Kallberg ( 11-4, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9) who occupies five rungs lower than the Nigerian.
