The World Youth Table Tennis Championships 2022 will see nine Indian table tennis players vie for medals in Tunisia from Sunday.

The eight-day meet will be held at Salle Omnisport de Rades, an indoor sports arena in the city of Rades, and will see young players from across the globe compete in the under-15 and under-19 categories.

The table tennis competitions at the ITTF World Youth Championships 2022 will feature singles, doubles and team events. Watch live streaming in India.

The first three days of the competition will see action in the boys’ and girls’ team events.

ITTF World Youth Championships is in its second edition and replaced World Junior Table Tennis Championships on the ITTF Calendar last year. The championship will conclude on December 11.

The Indian boys’ team of Ankur Bhattacharjee, Deepit Patil, Payas Jain, Yashansh Malik will take on Japan on Sunday in the round of 16. Meanwhile, the Indian girls’ team of Yashaswini Ghorpade, Nithya Mani, Suhana Saini, and Taneesha Kotecha will face the winner between Tunisia and France in the quarter-finals after receiving a first-round bye.

The individual competitions will begin on December 8 from the round of 32. Former junior world No. 1 Payas Jain, currently ranked 13th, will be India’s best bet in the under-19 boys’ singles and will look to upgrade his bronze medal from last year.

Junior world No. 12 Yashaswini Ghorpade and 2021 World Youth Championships bronze medallist Suhana Saini, world No. 14, will lead India’s challenge in under-19 girls’ singles.

Payas Jain and Yashaswini Ghorpade will also combine for the mixed doubles event and are seeded eighth. The duo won the gold medal at the Asian Junior Table Tennis Championships in Laos earlier this year and will start from the round of 16 against Australia’s Danni-Elle Townsend and Finn Luu.

Yashaswini Ghorpade will team up with Suhana Saini in the under-19 girls’ doubles and the pair are the top seeds in the category.

In the under-15 category, 14-year-old Jennifer Varghese is India’s sole challenger. She is seeded ninth in under-15 girls’ singles and will also compete in the doubles with Egyptian partners.
