Egypt's Dina Meshref secured her fourth consecutive women's singles title at the International Table Tennis Federation Africa Top 16 Cup with victory over Nigerian Offiong Edem in Tunis.

Meshref, the world number 31, swept aside Edem 11-2, 11-8, 8-11, 11-5, 11-6 in a one-sided final at the Salle Multidisciplinaire de Radès.

Victory saw the three-time African Games gold medallist continue her recent dominance of the continental event, and justified her status as the top seed and pre-tournament favourite.

Meshref has now won the women's singles title at the competition eight times, including the last four.

The triumph for the 25-year-old Egyptian also guaranteed her a place at October's ITTF Women's World Cup in Bangkok.
