Fresh from his exploits at the WTT Saudi Smash, top seed Aruna was again unstoppable with a commanding win in the final against Egypt’s Mohamed El-Beiali.
The one-sided final saw Aruna effortlessly take down the Egyptian with a 4-0 win to emerge as the new Africa Cup champion after losing the title to Egypt’s Omar Assar in 2018.
Similarly, Meshref was at her best after coming back from 2-0 down to defeat her compatriot, Mariam Alhodaby, 4-3 to become the new Africa Cup champion after losing the last two editions in the final.
The tournament has over 50 players from 14 countries taking part as players brace up for the African Olympic Qualification Tournament, which holds between May 16 and 18.
