Exciting highlights to expect at Singapore Smash 2024, a mega lifestyle and sports event

At the first Grand Smash of the year, the main event is obvious: watching the top 128 men's and women's singles players battle it out. You'll be on the edge of your seats in anticipation as 2023 champions Fan Zhendong (China) and Sun Yingsha (China) bring their A-game – they're lightning fast on the court.

Make sure to also keep an eye out for rising stars like French teenager Felix Lebrun who clinched victory at WTT Star Contender Goa, and German veteran Timo Boll, who claimed the WTT Contender Doha title. Other familiar names like Hugo Calderano (Brazil), Tomakazu Harimoto (Japan), and Lin Yun-Ju (Chinese Taipei) will make an appearance, each vying for table tennis glory.

Amidst all the fast-paced action, be sure to rally behind our own homegrown talent. Our country's best paddlers will also be at this high-stakes event, where they get the chance to compete for 1.5 million USD and 2000 world ranking points. Cheer along for Izaac Quek and Koen Pang for Men’s Singles, Zeng Jian and Zhou Jingyi for Women’s Singles.

These Singapore Smash Host Wildcards will be up against table tennis icons Ma Long and Chen Meng at the Infinity Arena. 17-year-old Izaac Quek went all the way through to the Round of 16 last year, showing that anything is possible with sheer determination and a parochial crowd. As he shares, “it means a lot to have that home support” – that’s your cue to get down and cheer on our top players.

The excitement doesn't stop off the tables. While the competition is in full swing, Singapore Smash 2024 also has a series of entertainment acts and highlights for all. Make your way to the Singapore Smash Park at OCBC Square where you'll be met with a buzzing energy and festival-like atmosphere. There'll be live matches on the big screen, food and drinks, and meet and greets along with autograph sessions with your favourite table tennis stars so follow Singapore Smash on their social platforms and keep an eye out. Get down, pick up a paddle and hit the free table tennis tables, and simply soak in the vibrancy of it all.

Plus, you can do all that while listening to some of Singapore’s local talents perform.
