After her most recent failure at the concluded ITTF World Championships in Budapest, Olufunke Oshonaike said she is now focusing on the forthcoming All African Games.
The Nigerian tennis legend told Sports247 that she has used the World Championships to assess her fitness and weaknesses in order to correct them before the All Africa Games begin in Morocco.
“I have actually started my preparation for the African Cup and Games early this year and I came purposely to the World Championship to see the level of my fitness and also ascertain some of my mistakes in order to go back to my base in Germany and correct them.
“Now with what happened at the World Championships in Budapest, I was able to see some of my possible opponents in Africa with the hope of redoubling my efforts in training to be able to withstand them when the continental tournaments take place.
“There is no doubt that every player is playing well and nobody is a minnow in the sport again.
“ I have noticed that I am fit what I just need to do is to work on my tactic before the championships,” the former African champion said.
