Saturday saw 130 Juniors Take it to the Table in a ferocious day of singles, doubles, and divisional competition.
On the Sunday, we hosted 190 Senior, Veteran & Para players competing in their respective categories with numerous incredible matches played throughout the day.
Olympian & Paralympian Melissa Tapper took home the Women’s Open for the first time in her decorated career, beating budding future Olympian Connie Psihogios.
Visitor Yonis Yihang Xu from Western Australia defeated Lin Ma to take home the Men’s Open for 2024.
Congratulations to all of our other winners and runners-up across all events throughout the weekend.
“What a wonderful weekend it was celebrating the very best of what table tennis in Victoria has to offer," TTV CEO Andrew Weiss said.
“To have over 320 entries across the two days of competition was a great result, and to see the community come together in the fantastic facilities at the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium was a joy to watch."
“All our players, officials, volunteers, parents, staff and sponsors combined to make the 2024 Victorian Open Championships one of the most successful in recent times!” added Weiss.
TTV Board Member Raj Datta was also in attendance all weekend and stated how “it was great to witness the talent on display across ages 8 to 80 plus from seasoned veterans to multiple exciting new young prospects.”
“Congratulations to all finalists and everyone who contributed to the tournament’s success” added Datta.
TTV would like to thank our sponsors and partners for making this weekend possible, including Affordable Table Tennis, S-Trend, JJ’s Photography, and Costa Farms.
A massive thank you also goes out to Latrobe City Council and Destination Gippsland for hosting us in Traralgon for the second year in a row.
