Top Points Of Week 1, Day 1
First open serve doubles point in table tennis history
Portland’s Nikhil Kumar (SPINDEX: 2760) tosses the ball in the air and rattles it on the table. Sid Naresh (2673) stands to his right, and the Florida Crocs’ Chihwei Yeh (2680) and Carlos Hernandez (2623) await the serve. Kumar has made these serves many times before; the Paddlers often turn to him for their doubles matches.
