Ittf world team championships

ITTF World Team Championships: Sreeja Akula created history earlier this week by becoming the first Indian table tennis player to win a WTT Contender singles title and on Tuesday she became India’s top-most paddler with a career-high ranking of 24. The 25-year-old now hopes to carry the momentum and create a few upsets at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Sreeja, who played an important role in helping India qualify for the team event at Paris 2024, will be participating in both the team and individual events and is high on confidence as she has hit a purple patch this year.

During an interview with Ultimate Table Tennis, Sreeja said, "It’s my debut Olympic Games but I think I am well prepared for the tournament. I just want to play my best in whichever event I am playing and just want to create the maximum number of upsets."
