Amit Thanvi and Anshul Vyas closed out the five-day TTFI-2 Open Table Tennis Championship at Wonkar TT Academy in Jaipur, claiming the senior men’s and women’s crowns in tight finals that kept local fans on the edge of the table.

Thanvi edged Akshat Sharma 4–3 in a seven-game men’s final that tested both players’ stamina and shot selection. On the women’s side, Anshul Vyas beat Maulisha Thanvi 4–2 to lift the senior trophy. Those results were the headline outcomes of an event that ran across age categories from under-11 through veterans, drawing competitors from across the state and showcasing depth in Rajasthan’s player pool.

The championship served more than local bragging rights. Organizers indicated that performances here will be considered for selection to upcoming National Championships, so players who delivered standout matches in Jaipur can expect their results to factor into state-level selection conversations. That makes every match, from early U-11 rounds to veteran rubbers, a potential stepping stone toward national competition.

Competition schedules were packed over five days, with age-group draws running concurrently and veterans’ winners crowned across multiple age brackets. The event’s broad structure aimed to promote table tennis participation across the state by giving juniors, seniors, and veteran players competitive exposure under tournament conditions. For coaches and club captains, the championship also provided match footage and head-to-heads useful for shaping training plans ahead of the selection window.

For players and parents, the immediate takeaway is practical: review performance takeaways from Jaipur and ensure your match records and coach assessments are up to date for state selectors. For organizers and grassroots clubs, the tournament underlined the value of multi-category events in keeping players engaged and creating clear pathways from U-11 competition to veteran circuits.

The Jaipur event reinforced that tight margins and consistent play are key when selection is on the line. Expect selection notices and follow-up events to emerge in the coming weeks as state bodies finalize their lists. For anyone aiming at nationals, use the momentum from Jaipur to sharpen serve-and-return routines, work on match endurance, and keep close contact with your coach or state association for the next steps.
