Aruna is the first African to make it to the top 10 ranking of table tennis players and the only African player to have featured in the WTT Finals since its inaugural edition in 2021.

The Nigerian reached  quarterfinals of the tournament in 2014 in the Men’s Singles competition but could not advance beyond the semifinals when he was defeated by Bulgaria’s Dimitrij Ovtcharov.

The Lusail Sports Arena in Doha will be the venue of the WTT which will hold between January 3 and 5, 2024 where the top seeds will square up against the likes of Aruna in the first round of 16 on Wednesday.
