Singapore Smash 2024 goes beyond just sport, with entertainment and fan park
The third edition of Singapore Smash will be happening from 7-17 March 2024, with this being the first World Table Tennis (WTT) Grand Smash event of the year. Top players like China's Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha will be defending their 2023 titles in the Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles categories respectively, against fierce competitors like Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Chen Meng, Japan’s Hina Hayata and more.
A little closer to home, Singapore paddlers Izaac Quek and Koen Pang have secured main draw berths for the Men’s Singles and Doubles event, while Zeng Jian and Zhou Jingyi will be competing in the Women’s Singles and Doubles events.
“Playing in front of my family and friends and the Singapore crowd is really special to me. I was really happy with my performance last year, and I am super excited to be playing Singapore Smash again next month. I hope as many Singaporeans can come out and cheer on all of the Team Singapore players, it means a lot to have that home support,” said Izaac Quek, the 17-year-old wildcard recipient.
With a total of US$1.5 million of prize money up for grabs, qualifying rounds will take place over three days from 7-9 March before the main draw officially starts on 10th March. This year, Singapore Smash is offering something for all with a youth event, WTT Youth Star Contender Singapore, from 14-17 March that will showcase future table tennis stars. There’s also the Singapore Smash Para Showcase from 12-14 March for the world’s best Para table tennis athletes.
For those seeking even more fun and entertainment, there will be the Singapore Smash Park located within OCBC Square. Designed to complement the event, the park will have F&B options, and live entertainment from acts such as Jeff Ng. Fans can watch the Singapore Smash Community Challenge, play a match or two with friends at the free play table tennis tables at the venue, and attend autograph and meet & greet sessions with participating paddlers.
Tickets for Singapore Smash 2024 start from as low as S$15, with packages and discounts available for family packs and seniors. For a more bespoke experience, there are the Singapore Smash Experience and Ultimate Smash Experience packages that offer exclusive lounge access, welcome drinks, merchandise packs, access to watch player warm-ups and more.
