NCTTA hosts a Men's Singles event every year at the College Table Tennis Championships. This year we see a "who's who" of table tennis might! We have current and former domestic and international team players representing their country, themselves, and most importantly, their schools! Something to chew on is that the lowest rated player in the Men's Singles draw is a player rated above 2000. Let that resonate: there are no players below 2000 in Men's Singles!

NCTTA Vice President, Joe Wells stated enthusiastically, "There is no where to hide in Men's Singles this year. Where else can you get such a competitive tournament in the USA?!"

A favorite to take the Men's Singles competition is USA Table Tennis board member, MLTT player and #1 player for UC Berkeley, Nikhil Kumar. The junior Computer Science major has a lot on his plate school wise and table tennis wise. Busy people are successful people and while that is true, Kumar certainly will have a busy Men's Singles draw fending off all of the 2000+ rated players coming for the Men's Singles title! Check out the NCTTA Men's Singles kicking off in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on April 12th to 14th!
