UTT National Ranking Tournament Set To Begin From Sep 7 In New Delhi
UTT National Ranking Table Tennis: New Delhi will host some of India’s biggest table tennis names, including reigning national champion Diya Chitale and Commonwealth Games gold medallists G. Sathiyan and Harmeet Desai, at the UTT National Ranking Table Tennis Tournament, beginning on September 7 at the Thyagraj Stadium.
The event has drawn an impressive 2958 entries, underscoring the sport’s rising popularity. It also marks the first time since 2008 that the Delhi State Table Tennis Association (DSTTA) is hosting a national ranking tournament, though the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) last organised one in the capital in 2012 with support from Haryana.
Gurpreet Singh, president of DSTTA, expressed excitement over the unprecedented response. “The number of entries, 2958, is a strong indicator of the interest the tournament has generated. I don't remember the last time there were these many entries for a national ranking event. We are fully ready to host the event,” he said.
