Uganda’s Jemimah Nakawala has advanced to the quarterfinals of the women’s singles table tennis competition at the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following a strong run of performances.
Nakawala, who has shown impressive form throughout the tournament, will face Egypt’s Yousra Ashraf Abdelrazek on Wednesday evening in a high-stakes clash that could see her move into the semifinals.
Uganda’s men’s and women’s teams also reached the quarterfinals in the team categories before bowing out after spirited displays.
