Straight off the back of that, all attention will shift onto Macao, who are proud hosts of this special, promotional showcase.
The Tap Seac Multisport Pavilion will be the setting for WTT Macao. Located at the centre of the Macao peninsula, it is the region’s go-to venue for indoor sports and will be where so many of table tennis’ top international stars will gather and battle it out for WTT honours.
WHO WILL MAKE WTT HISTORY?
The two champions crowned at WTT Macao will write their names forever into table tennis history, claiming the first ever WTT silverware.
