In this edition we look at what’s happening for the rest of the year, get game on game theory, talk up our chances of world championships, look at what a big club looks like, and have a smashing time talking about smashing. THE TAIL END OF THE YEAR APPROACHES We are approaching the pointy end of proceedings for our Summer Season.

The finals will get underway on the 22nd of November, with the Grand Finals being held on the 29th. We are still waiting on conformation of the date for the Melton – Werribee Challenge match. We’ve been getting a bit of a pasting in recent years, so it’ll be interesting to see how much we’ve improved. We’ll let you know when it is as soon as we find out. END OF YEAR CELEBRATIONS As has been the case for the past few years, our end of year knees-up will be held at Q-Lounge in Melton. This year’s event will be held on Thursday the 13th of December, and will kick off at around 7:00pm. Over 100 trophies will be presented on the night to some very deserving players.

  • Toronto Women Upset Princeton Doubles Team
    CONTACT: Andy Kanengiser PHONE: (800) 581-6770 EMAIL: [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 4, 2014 Toronto Women Upset Princeton Doubles Team Sports fans always seem to root for the underdogs, whether it’s basketball, football or table tennis. At the 2014 TMC College Table tennis Championships in Monroeville, fans cheered when the Toronto women’s doubles team knocked off a powerful Princeton squad on Friday afternoon. “It was a huge upset,’’ said NCTTA president Willy Leparulo minutes after the Toronto duo prevailed. The Canadian team consisting of Vivien Zhou and Xixi Guo was relentless as they defeated Princeton standouts Ariel Hsing and Shirley Fu. The 18-year-old Hsing of Fremont, California was a celebrated member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic table tennis team. Big crowds looked on Canada’s stars pulled off one of the nice early upsets of the three-day event near Pittsburgh. The two Toronto players also excel in the classroom. Vivien Zhou is an applied math and statistics major from Foshan, China. Xixi Guo is an economics major from Changsha, China. Both are seniors. “We are happy we won. My partner, Xixi, was very good today,’’ Vivien said moments after the games ended. “Princeton has good players. We were fighting for every point.’’ At the University of Toronto, “everybody likes table tennis,’’ Xixi said. It was also a busy time for the 47,000-student university back home with exams going on in early April. Many students brought their books and computers to the tourney to study between games. Xixi Guo has been competing since she was 7-years-old and played until she was 14.

  • Friday 28Th June – Quotes of the Day by Milica Nikolic ETTU Press Officer
    Minsk 2019 2nd European Games Friday 28th June – Quotes of the Day by Milica Nikolic ETTU Press Officer 10.00 am: Women’s Team Semi-Final – Nina Mittelham and Han Ying (Germany) GERMANY 3-2 POLAND Shan Xiaona replaced the injured Petrissa Solja in the German team. Nina Mittelham and Shan Xiaona lost to Natalia Bajor and Natalia Partyka (11-8, 11-2, 14-12). Han Ying beat Li Qian (11-9, 11-7, 11-3), Shan Xiaona lost to Natalia Partyka (11-5, 11-8, 5-11, 11-4), before Han Ying accounted for Natalia Bajor (11-2, 11-6, 11-8) and Nina Mittelham overcame Li Qian (4-11, 11-8, 11-8, 8-11, 11-9). “For the doubles, I have not had much many chances to partner Shan, so it was very difficult for us. It was also her first match here and it did not end up well for us. Luckily, Han played two amazing matches. She won quite easy and it opened the door for us. I am happy I seized the opportunity that has been given to me.” Nina Mittelham In the vital fifth match of the fixture Nina Mittelham recovered from 6-9 down, winning five points in a row to secure victory. “I did not think about the fact she is the European champion. What really was on my mind is the thought that I can play well against a player with the defensive style of play. I was shaking before the match but after it started I felt well; I felt the ball and my confidence rose.
