After a shaky start – Möregårdh was behind with 1–4 in the first set – the Swedish table tennis star found his game and easily defeated the Nigerian.

I must take it easy (with food), but it's hard because everything tastes so good, he says jokingly in the post-match interview.

He continues to comment on the match that ended 11–9, 11–9, 11–4.

I feel that I played well. We know each other well and have played on the same team, I really like him (Quadri Aruna) as a person and admire him as a table tennis player.

The tournament's other Swede, Anton Källberg, defeated the Chinese Xue Fei with 3–2 in sets and is also advancing to the round of 16.
