2024 US Open by the Numbers

(by Steve Hopkins)

The two signature table tennis events in the US (the Open and the Nationals) are unique to our sport. Table tennis is among the most inclusive of all sports reaching players of all ages and abilities, our sport has evolved from a simple game into demanding high speed / high endurance test, the technology of our sport can create torque and bend and add speed but it can also soften and straighten and simplify…   so our sport can reach a diverse range of players and our governing organization balances their representation of international and national athletes, as well as students, schools, clubs, and leagues.  Our biggest tournaments have evolved into massive events that invite all of these aspects of our American sport into one room to compete (and cheer and communicate and support).

The 2025 US Open Table Tennis Championships included nearly fifteen hundred players taking part in 115 events with the truly open title events at the top (Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, Mixed Doubles), age events from from U11 up to 85 and Over, rating events (both Adult and Junior versions from U1000 up to U2000 as well as U2600, U2400, and U2200), seven Para events, five Classic events (sandpaper and hardbat), a Parkinson Open, and Family Generational Doubles.  The highest singles honors this year went to Kanak Jha and Yan Guo who won the Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles titles.

Unlike some past years, the singles champions primarily focused on singles events, so there were no “sweeps” of the top singles and doubles titles. Men’s Doubles went to Seiya Numamura and Tonin Ryzaki, Women’s Doubles went to Asuka Sasao and Reina Aso, and Mixed Doubles went to Asuka Sasao and Reina Aso.

Yuan-Yu Wu won U21 Men’s Singles – and interestingly only finished second in U19 Boys.  USA’s Nandan Naresh won the U19 Boys event (and fell in a tight five game match in the quarters of the U21 event).  Yuanxinai Yuan won U21 Women.  U19 Girls went to Yura Shinohara.

Some familiar names appeared throughout the leaderboard.  Derek May won Men’s 50+, James Therriault won Men’s 60+, Lily Yip won Women’s 60+, and Donna Sakai won Women’s 75+.  Tahl Leibovitz and Jenson van Emburgh each won their Para event.  Tahl also won Para Standing Doubles and Hardbat Doubles.  Speaking of multiple titles –  in addition to her singles title, Lily Yip also won five Doubles events (40+ Women, 40+ Mixed, 50+ Women, 50+ Mixed, and 60+ Women).  Patty Martinez-Wasserman had a pair of Doubles first places (50+ Women and 60+ Women) and added silver and a bronze in three other doubles events.  Connie and Dell Sweeris won 75+ Mixed Doubles and Connie teamed with Donna Sakai to win 75+ Women’s Doubles as well.
