ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals 2023 results

The ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals 2023 in Durban reached the business end of the prestigious tournament where the best paddlers battle it out in singles and doubles events.

The People’s Republic of China looks set to assert their dominance at the championships with an eye on winning all five gold medals on offer – the men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
