Chinese TT players for India Junior Open

Chinese paddlers would be among the top players who would be seen in action in the Reliance India Junior and Cadet Open Table Tennis Championship to be hosted by the National Sports Club of India in Worli here from October 16-20.
Apart from China and hosts India, Hong Kong, Iran, United Arab Emirates and Nigeria are the other countries who have confirmed their participation, while more entries from other nations are expected soon, said a media release today.
The tournament is a part of the ITTF's (International Table Tennis Federation) Global Junior Circuit and is being held under the auspices of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), organized by the Mumbai City District Table Tennis Association (MCDTTA) and promoted by Evolution Sport.

The field would feature 80 potential future international champions as well as 40 of the leading Indian junior paddlers.
There are 12 events in which the boys and girls will compete in team and individual events in the junior and cadet categories.
The championship is being hosted at the newly inaugurated multi sports airconditioned arena at the NSCI with a seating capacity of 5,000 people which had played host to the Indian Badminton League finals in August.
India's national coach and tournament director Kamlesh Mehta is excited about the event.
"As an administrator and former player its an absolute privilege to be involved in this event which is coming to Mumbai after 30 years," said the eight-time national champion.
