Table Tennis News and Reviews

The popular OOAK Table Tennis Forum has been upgraded, with a brand new look and a brand new domain.

The forum graphics has had a complete face-lift, to (1) to give the forum a clear identity of its own as opposed to using a stock theme and (2) to increase usability and legibility of the forum. Posts are now much easier to read and the relevant icons/links easier to see.

In January 2009 it nearly happened at the Slovenian Open and later in the same year in June, it nearly happened at the Japan Open.

In January 2010, it did happen and according to my failing memory, it is the first time it has ever happened, since the ITTF Pro Tour started in the English market town of Kettering in 1996.

China’s 21 year old Ma Long is the new no.1 ranked player on planet earth.

Previously listed at no.2 in December 2009, he changes places with compatriot Wang Hao, the reigning World champion on the World Rankings issued by the International Table Tennis Federation on Sunday 3rd January 2010.

Now it is time to look ahead and certainly Oceania, the first part of the world to celebrate the New Year, is very much out of the blocks at top speed.

On behalf of the ITTF, I extend to our fans and members our warmest and most sincere best wishes for the Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year.
