T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League
The Opening Round of the T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League (T2APAC) continued today with Team MAZE and Team ROSSI kicking off proceedings at the purpose-built T2Cavern at Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios.
Team ROSSI were keen to make amends after losing their opening fixture 14-9 to Team PERSSON and captain Jorg ROSSKOPF promptly won the opening toss before sending out Hungarian Georgina POTA to lead the charge.
Team Maze meanwhile were looking to build on their opening day 14-13 victory over Team JJ and skipper Michael Maze had little hesitation tapping on Singapore star FENG Tianwei for the opening encounter.
