“As a leading sports brand that takes table tennis as the core of our brand DNA and one of our key competencies, we would like to see WTT expanding the game globally and launching new events for the female athletes,” continued Zhao.

WTT is fully coming to life this year. Grand Smashes are the newest marquee events, set to become the pillars of WTT and the new pinnacle of professional table tennis. The event will deliver the highest-level table tennis with both singles, mixed and doubles competitions showcasing the talent of our highest ranked athletes.

The WTT Women’s events include two major competitions: the WTT Women Champions, which will exclusively gather the best 32 players on the planet, and WTT Women Cup Finals is the new unmissable year-ending event.

The 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships will take place in Chengdu, whilst the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Durban, South Africa.

Matt Pound, WTT Managing Director, commented, “We are thrilled to welcome Double Fish as a global partner of WTT, continuing their support of WTT in redefining the sport of table tennis.
