Tikon said Nigerian athletes performed admirably in the tournament against the top athletes in the world, and they will become better athletes with more competitions and training programs.
“You will be aware that some of the top Nigerian table tennis players, like Quadri Aruna, were not at the WTT Contender event. Also, you should understand that the world event is made up of the best players across the world.
