Fort Worth Convention Center will host The 2023 US National Table Tennis Championships.  The event will run from July 3-7 and will include 112 events with a variety of age and rating tiered singles and doubles events, hardbat and sandpaper events, Parkinson events, and the featured Hsing Family Foundation Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles championship events.

A year ago, Nikhil Kumar and Sharon Alguetti fought through a seven game match that entertained the crowd and ended with Nikhil’s 11-8 win.  It was Nikhil’s first National Championship – a title he’ll be planning to defend next month.  In Women’s Singles, it was Lily Zhang who won her sixth National Championship- outlasting fifth-seeded 15-year old Sally Moyland 4-2.  Expect to see all of these stars back again – along with many others.
