I am ready to face anybody in Glasgow, says Onaolapo

After causing the biggest upset to earn Nigeria the golden bronze in the men’s team event of table tennis at the ongoing Glasgow Commonwealth Games, former junior sensation, Ojo Onaolapo believes the victory over India’s Sharath Achanta has boosted his confident to tackle any opponent in Scotland.
Onaolapo became the toast of fans at the venue of the third place match after the young Nigerian stunned the Indian star rated 44 in the world 3-1 to earn Nigeria its first medal in the last eight years of the Games.
An elated Ondo State-born player said: ““I’m excited, I’m happy to win; in table tennis if you are dominant you can beat
anybody.”
He added: “We wanted to win a medal, nobody expected to; we played them in the bronze medal match four years ago in New Delhi and lost.”
Meanwhile, the preliminary round of the singles’ event began on Tuesday with Nigeria’s trio of Toriola, Aruna Quadri and Bode Abiodun drawn bye to for the main draw (round of 64).
In the women’s singles, the trio of Edem Offiong, Cecilia Otu-Akpan and Ganiat Ogundele had to compete for places in the main draw.
