Dear table tennis friends, I am table tennis.
Recently, WTT officially announced that the championship will be settled in Incheon, South Korea, and will officially meet us from March 27th to 31st. It is understood that the total prize money of this event is 300,000 US dollars, about 2.16 million yuan!
Event Name: WTT Championship - Incheon, South Korea.
Date: March 27-31.
Men's Singles, Women's Singles. The championship only sets up singles events, with 32 signatures for men's singles and women's singles, starting from the 1 16 finals, and then going to the 1 8 finals, 1 4 finals, semi-finals and finals, and the champion will be produced after 5 rounds! Therefore, the progress and pace of the game will be relatively fast!
300,000 US dollars, because there are only singles, so for the players, it is a high amount of bonuses, the event is more attractive, and it is estimated that the national table tennis will also send an all-star lineup to participate!
At the moment, the World Table Tennis Federation has not announced the list of participants, but I estimate that each association will send top players to participate. Especially the national table tennis, after all, the national table tennis has not yet set the final list of participants in the Olympic Games, so it is necessary to judge each athlete based on the performance of major events.
In addition, for the national table tennis, participating in this competition is also a confrontation with the main singles players of the Olympic Games! It is expected that the national table tennis will send an all-star lineup to participate in the competition. Of course, we also have to see the world rankings at that time!
The Championship is an intermediate competition in the WTT tournament system, second only to the Grand Slam and the World Cup Finals.
However, as mentioned earlier, this tournament is only singles, and the average prize money is higher. The schedule is more concentrated, so it's very attractive for the players!
WTT's vision is to hold 8 championships every year, but since its launch, it has not reached the standard, and there are only 5 tournaments in total, namely: the 2022 Budapest Championship, Macau Championship, 2023 Xinxiang Championship, Macau Championship and Frankfurt Championship!
In 2024, the Incheon Championship and the Frankfurt Championship will be held at the end of the year have been confirmed!
