Egypt table tennis star, Dina Meshref, has expressed confidence leading the 14-man Egyptian to medal hauls at the International Table Tennis Federation World Tour, Lagos Open billed for next month.
With the absence of defending champion, Egypt’s Nadeen El-Dawlatly, the 20-year-old
believes Nigerian players are beatable in front of their fans in Lagos. El-Dawlatly defeated Meshref in the final of the championship in 2014 to win her first World Tour title and for this year, she will not be available following a knee injury.
“Of course Nadeen’s absence will definitely make a difference, as she is very well experienced against the Nigerian opponents. However, I believe that the four other girls accompanying me are capable of beating Nigerians too,” she boasted.
Being her second visit to Nigeria, Meshref believes the title would not elude her but she admitted that she has to fight over challenge.
