Developing a clear, coherent pathway to the top of the sport for our players has always been one of WTT’s central ambitions. When we started to discuss the possibility of creating a new commercial entity for table tennis, supporting and nurturing future generations together with current up-and-comers was an immediate priority. We are all aware that the future of our sport depends on the success and commitment of the next generations of players; their rise to fame, their role model status for young viewers, and the headline-grabbing upsets they cause at the table along the way. We saw a glimpse of this recently with Korean teenager Shin Yubin’s tremendous run during the recent WTT Middle East Hub in Doha.
