Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula are in the fray for India.

Indian Table Tennis players will look forward to getting into top form as they begin their ITTF Singles World Cup 2024 campaign in Macao on April 16 (Tuesday). The ITTF Singles World Cup 2024 is set to take place from April 15 (Monday) to April 21 (Sunday) at the prestigious Galaxy Arena in Macao.

A total of 48 paddlers in both the men’s and women’s singles categories are participating in the tournament, representing various nations from around the world. Each category has been divided into 16 groups, with three paddlers each. Furthermore, the tournament is making a much-anticipated return after a three-year hiatus.

Batra will face off against Romania’s Diaconu in her opening match of the ITTF World Cup 2024 on Tuesday at 2:30 PM IST. She will then play a pivotal match against World No. 2 Wang in her second group stage match on April 17.

On the other hand, Sreeja Akula, who is in Group 4, will start her ITTF Singles World Cup Macao 2024 journey against WR51 Poland’s Natalia Bajor on Tuesday at 10 AM IST.
