Day 3 - Media Notes WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 Main Draw: 08 - 13 March USD 400,000 DAY 3 - MEDIA NOTES WTT STAR CONTENDER DOHA 2021 OVERVIEW CITY: Doha, QATAR SITE: Lusail Sports Arena DATES: 8 – 13 March 2021 TABLE BRAND: Double Fish BALL BRAND: DHS FLOOR BRAND: Gerflor MEDIA CONTACT: [email protected] PRIZE MONEY: USD 400,000 Welcome to World Table Tennis (WTT). This is the first edition of WTT Star Contender and is the second official event of the WTT era. Players competing in WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 is vying for a total prize purse of USD 400,000. The event is played in the Lusail Sports Arena. Opened in 2014, the multi-purpose hall has hosted several major sporting events and is transformed into the brand new WTT arena, set to showcase the sport as never seen before. Top stars including Japanese wonderkid, Tomokazu Harimoto and trailblazer Lily Zhang are joined by international athletes from all around the world such as Hugo Calderano, Mattias Falck, Mima Ito, Adriana Diaz and more. DAY TWO HIGHLIGHTS • Korea Republic’s An Jaehyun exacted revenge over Sweden’s Mattias Flack, beating him 3-0 (11-8, 11-9, 11-7) in their men’s singles clash. Costly errors played a major role in the match with a visibly frustrated Falck hurling his racket at the table following the close of game two. • Brazil’s Bruna Takahashi upset Romanian 11th seed Bernadette Szocs with Takahashi striking the perfect balance of attack and counter-hit to prevail over Szocs, 3-1 (11-7, 8- 11, 11-3, 11-9) in the women’s singles. • Korea Republic teenager, Shin Yubin (aged 16) put up another mature performance when the qualifier took down number 15 seed Margaryta Pesotska of Ukraine, 3-1 (11- 3, 11-7, 10-12, 11-8). #WTTDOHA 1 WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 Main Draw: 08 - 13 March USD 400,000 • Spain’s Alvaro Robles and Romania’s Ovidiu Ionescu will be the pair to watch in the men’s doubles after they whitewashed the German pairing of Patrick Franziska and Qiu Dang 3-0 (11-5, 11-5, 11-6). In a one-way traffic contest, the German pairing struggled to keep up with Robles and Ionescu with the Spanish/Romanian combination rarely troubled. LOOKING AHEAD • Chinese Taipei’s Cheng I-Ching and Japan’s Hina Hayata are poised for another intriguing battle with their opening women’s singles clash set to start at 10:00am (local time) on table one. • Second seed Cheng made an early exit in her women’s singles opening round at the WTT Contender Doha last week. In the mixed doubes, however, she was in unstoppable form, striking a formidable partnership with her younger compatriot, Lin Yun-Ju to win the event. • Hayata has been on an impressive run at the WTT Middle East Hub where she went on a blistering run at the WTT Contender Doha, falling short only to eventual champion Mima Ito in the final last week. • It will be an all-Japanese affair in the round of 16 as Mima Ito takes on Satsuki Odo at 10:40 on table one. • Brazil’s Bruna Takahashi will be aiming to continue her amazing run, having dispatched Romania’s number 11 seed Bernadette Szocs. The Brazilian takes on sixth seed, Jeon Jihee of Korea Republic on table four at 10:55. • Japan’s number one seed, Tomokazu Harimoto will go head-to-head against Nigeria’s Quadri Aruna in the men’s singles at 11:20 on table one. EVENT - FAST FACTS • The WTT Star Contender Series features the Play Down Restriction (PDR) rule, which limits the maximum number of top 20 players allowed to compete in the events. • At WTT Star Contender Doha 2021, the Play Down Restriction is increased due to COVID-19 and that it has been almost 12 months since international competition has been available to all players. • The Play Down Top 20 Restriction was increased from 4 to 8 for WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 #WTTDOHA 2 WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 Main Draw: 08 - 13 March USD 400,000 • The Mixed Doubles main draw was increased from 8 to 16 pairs to provide players the opportunity to earn rankings points in a bid to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. • The draw structure has also been revamped to make the competitions fairer, more exciting and more competitive. • WTT may elect to nominate a player to participate in the event - this player is known as a WTT Nomination and entered into the entry list as a wildcard. • Men’s Singles: Liam PITCHFORD/Simon GAUZY • Women’s Singles: Adriana DIAZ • Wild Cards are determined 7 days prior to event • Men’s Singles: FRANZISKA Patrick, NIWA Koki, MIZUTANI Jun, AL-MOHANNADI Ahmad Khalil • Women’s Singles: Maria XIAO • Men’s Doubles: Mohammed ABDULWAHHAB/Ahmed Khalil AL-MOHANNADI • Women’s Doubles: Maha FARAMARZI/Ala MOHAMED & Maha ALI/Maryam ALI • Key changes to the Draw include: • More players automatically entered into event instead of having to play qualifying • Ranking Points earned for playing both Qualifying + Main Draw KEY DATES / TIMES 10 March 2021, 10:00 @ Lusail Sports Arena – Main Draw Day 3 11 March 2021, 10:00 @ Lusail Sports Arena – Quarterfinal 12 March 2021, 14:00 @ Lusail Sports Arena – Semi Finals 13 March 2021, 10:00 @ Lusail Sports Arena – Finals EVENT DISCIPLINES As a WTT Star Contender event, 5 different discipline will be contested: - Men’s Singles - Women’s Singles - Men’s Doubles - Women’s Doubles - Mixed Doubles #WTTDOHA 3 WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 Main Draw: 08 - 13 March USD 400,000 PLAYING SYSTEM The Main Draw matches will be conducted in a knockout format.

Uma diz que foi na Inglaterra e outra na Índia. Por volta da segunda metade do século XIX, o Tênis de mesa começava a nascer através de estudantes universitários e também por militares ingleses. Praticando de maneira improvisada, as redes poderiam ser com os livros que os universitários estudavam bem como uma raquete feita de papel ou vísceras de animal usada pelos militares em guerra principalmente na Índia que na época era colônia da Inglaterra.

    ACROSS THE NET Melton Table Tennis February 2019 Edition 52 2019 PREVIEW, STARS OF LAST YEAR, STAR AWARDS WRAP, STARS AT PLAY, & MUCH MORE In this edition, we look forward to another year, look back on our presentation night, discuss the annual Star Awards, discuss the only American to win a Singles World Championship, and talk about government funding (or the lack of it). WE’RE BACK Another year kicks off, and it’s going to be a big one. The practice nights were well attended and introduced quite a few new faces to the club. We are already underway with our Summer season, and it’s great to see the hall full of happy, competitive people enjoying themselves. Over the next few months we can hopefully unveil some new initiatives around the club. Stay tuned for news to come. PRESENTATION NIGHT A ROARING SUCCESS What a great night we had at our 2018 Presentation Night. Good food, marvellous music, great atmosphere, wonderful friends, and over 100 trophies going to nearly 60 very deserving winners. Our club band, Ping Pong had everyone entertained with some great music all night long. Many thanks to Simon Reich, John Batty and Josh Dias for playing some great tunes all through the night. And how lucky we were to have Olympian, Paralympian, and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, Melissa Tapper as our guest speaker. Milly certainly entertained and inspired us all with her story, and was very generous with her time, talking to members and posing for quite a lot of selfies. But the star of the night was the magnificent cake made by Andy Stewart.

März 2018 macht die crème de la crème des Tischtennissports in Bremen Station. In der ÖVB-Arena werden der Weltranglisten-Erste Timo Boll und Titelverteidiger Dimitrij Ovtcharov als Topgesetzte bei den mit insgesamt 235.000 Dollar dotierten German Open von Chinas Superstars und dem Rest der Welt gejagt. Es ist das letzte hochkarätige Aufeinandertreffen der Weltspitze vor der Team-WM in Halmstad (29.4. bis 6.5.).

  • Traumfinale Bei German Open 2017 in Magdeburg
    13.11.2017 - Frank Löper Traumfinale bei German Open 2017 in Magdeburg Da sage einer, Magdeburg kann nur Handball und Fußball! Die 12.500 Zuschauer, die an den Finaltagen der German Open im Tischtennis vom 10.bis 12. November in die GETEC-Arena der Landeshauptstadt strömten, beweisen das Gegenteil. Dass es die beiden besten deutschen Spieler, Timo Boll und Dimitrij Ovtcharov, bis ins Finale schafften, war dabei natürlich hilfreich. Am Sonntag sahen die 4.500 Finalzuschauer ein bis zuletzt spannendes Endspiel der beiden Deutschen. Mit 9:11, 11:5, 11:9, 6:11, 11:7, 7:11 sowie 11:6 setzte sich Dimitrij Ovtcharov am Ende durch und wiederholte damit seinen Finalsieg von vor drei Wochen beim World Cup in Lüttich. Für den 29-jährigen Ovtcharov war es in diesem Jahr der insgesamt vierte Titel auf der World Tour. Im Jahr 2014 hatte die Nummer drei der Weltrangliste ebenfalls in der GETEC-Arena triumphiert. „In Magdeburg spiele ich besonders gut. Am besten findet jedes Turnier hier statt.“ Beim Unterlegenen Timo Boll hielt sich die Enttäuschung in Grenzen. „Dimitrij war im passiven Spiel einen Tick besser.“ Nach der Begegnung stellte der vierfache German Open-Gewinner, zuletzt holte sich Boll im Jahr 2009 den Titel in Bremen, fest: „Wir schweben alle auf einer Welle. Es ist schön, wenn zwei Deutsche das Welt-Tischtennis dominieren.“ Bei den Frauen gab es in Magdeburg ein rein chinesiches Duell. Sieben Sätze lang duellierten sich Zhu Yuling und Chen Meng im Einzel-Finale. Trotz eines zwischenzeitlichen 1:3-Satzrückstandes setzte sich am Ende die an Position zwei gesetzte Chen gegen Topfavoritin Zhu durch.
