“WTT Macau is our opportunity to show the world just what an incredible transformation our sport will be going through in the World Table Tennis era, and to demonstrate how we are elevating table tennis into one of the greatest sporting properties on the planet. This has always been my dream, ever since my playing days and now is our chance to start making this dream a reality,” Liu Guoliang, WTT Council Chair said.
Also WTT Director and ITTF CEO, Steve Dainton added: “WTT Macau will be a table tennis show like no other before it. We know just how excited our star players are to be starting this journey with us and we are looking forward to entertaining our millions of fans around the world, who have heard so much about WTT. After months of waiting to see what this is all about, the time has come to raise the curtain for our first ever exhibition of World Table Tennis.”
