Quadri Akinade Aruna (born 9 August 1988) is a professional Nigerian table tennis player.

[3] In the 2017 ITTF World Challenge Bulgaria Open, he advanced to the semi-finals, where the eventual winner Dimitrij Ovtcharov defeated him in a tight match.

Chuang grew repeatedly frustrated as the match went on, uncharacteristically missing his signature forehand attacks and was at a loss against Aruna's unorthodox style.

Aruna defeated Chuang in arguably the tournament's biggest upset without losing a single set (4-0).

In the Quarter Finals, Aruna faced the tournament's number one seed, a Chinese player Ma Long.

The match proved entertaining as Aruna was forced to play defensively and back from the table, providing memorable rallies.

Aruna's run in the Singles event of the 2016 Olympic games was quite easily the most remarkable achievement of his career at the world level.

Aruna competed in the 2017 ITTF African Cup, qualifying for the quarter-finals, where he defeated Algeria's Naim Karali (4-1).

Aruna rallied back into an 8–10 deficit before losing the final point on a failed forehand loop (3-4).

The rivalry extends beyond the two world-class players into the feud for African Table Tennis supremacy between Egypt and Nigeria, having both produced some of the continent's strongest players over the last decade (Segun Toriola, Monday Merotohun, Olufunke Oshonaike, Dina Meshref, El-sayed Lashin, etc.).

This emotion is highlighted in the match's aftermath as Assar celebrated to the cheers of his fans on the top of the table.

[11] Quadri reached the quarter-finals of the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston but lost 2-4 to Sweden's Truls Möregårdh.
