The star said he is getting set for the Qatar open which is a bigger tournament.

According to the tennis star ”I have been practicing very well I have been playing in league matches almost every weekend and also we are in the semi-finals of the ETTU cup so with this tournament and the training I think am ready to play in the tournament” Quadri concludes.
Quadri in 2017 won the ITTF African Championship in Port Louis, Mauritius to earn his biggest points and followed it up with a runner up spot at the ITTF African Cup in Nairobi, Kenya.
Quadri,30, was ranked 26th, the same position he occupied to end the 2018 season on 9,394 points. His point haul came from eight of his best performances during the 2018 season.
