“The Open will have the best players in table tennis competing and we are all into it for a common interest which is to garner points.

“It is going to be a keen competition and I am preparing for the task.”

Marcozzi Table Tennis Club, Italy player, Omotayo said he would use the competition to further improve on his standard.
