African Games: Assad reclaims Table Tenni title

... Beats Aruna Quadri to gold

Omar Assar of Egypt reclaimed the title he surrendered in 2019 after an energy-sapping final against Quadri Aruna of Nigeria at the 13th African Games taking place in Accra, Ghana.

Assar, played his heart out against one of his arch-rivals in the continent and he prevailed 4-3 to reclaim the title and winning the second gold medals for Egypt at the games.

However, Aruna’s search for his first gold medal in the Men’s Singles continues after the loss in the final.

Considered as the battle of two elephants, the match lived up to expectations with Aruna and Assar entertaining the fans with their superlative display but it was Assar who laughed last to claim the second gold medal for Egypt at the African Games.
