LAS VEGAS, US. May 30th, 2025 – The singles line-up for US Smash 2025 has officially dropped, and it’s a blockbuster. 

From July 3rd to 13th, the world’s biggest table tennis names will descend on Orleans Arena, transforming Las Vegas into the global capital of speed, spin, and show-stopping rallies.

 

For the first time in history, the WTT Series’ top-tier Grand Smash comes to American soil, bringing with it a roster that reads like a who’s who of the sport. The reimagined Infinity∞Arena, WTT’s signature one-table stage, will be the beating heart of the action, re-engineered and rebuilt to reflect the spectacle and scale of a Vegas debut. And the line-up? Let’s just say: it delivers.

 

Newly crowned World Champion Wang Chuqin arrives with fire in his veins, while current World No.1 Lin Shidong looks to cement his place at the top in what promises to be a power-packed men’s singles field.

 

Hugo Calderano, fresh from making continental history with a trailblazing ITTF Men’s World Cup title and a World Championships final appearance, leads a hard-hitting Pan American charge. He’s joined by the likes of Tomokazu Harimoto, Liang Jingkun, and Felix Lebrun, the 18-year-old phenom who rewrote history as the first European to win a WTT Champions title.

 

Add in Truls Moregard, Olympic silver medallist and edge-of-your-seat shotmaker, and a crew of global game-changers including Alexis Lebrun, Xiang Peng, Lin Yun-Ju, and An Jaehyun, and you’ve got a draw that’s primed for drama from the very first serve.

In the women’s singles, Sun Yingsha leads the field as the reigning queen of the table—World No.1, back-to-back World Champion, and the player everyone else is trying to catch.

 

She’ll be joined by long-time rival and former Grand Smash winner Wang Manyu, who arrives in Vegas with unfinished business and a point to prove. Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, and Kuai Man round out a fierce top five from China, but they won’t have it all their way.

 

Miwa Harimoto headlines a thrilling Japanese roster that includes Hina Hayata, Satsuki Odo, and Mima Ito, who rocks up with a World Championships medal in her pocket and unfinished chapters to write.

 

This is the WTT Series’ most prestigious event ever held in the U.S. and the home squad is ready for the moment.

 

Kanak Jha, after a breakout performance at Singapore Smash, is set to light it up again under the Vegas lights, while Lily Zhang, a four-time Olympian and rising WTT force, leads the charge in the women’s singles. Together, they’ll have the home crowd roaring as they take on the best of the best in front of friends, fans, and first-timers.

 

Pan American stars Adriana Diaz and Bruna Takahashi will also bring heavyweight presence and flair—two players who know how to find the spotlight and take it with them.

 This is Grand Smash action, Vegas style. Every table. Every moment. All under one roof. With a reimagined Infinity∞Arena ready to turn every point into a headline, and the Smash Arena setting the tone for the day’s fiercest battles, Orleans Arena becomes the place where the sport’s biggest names meet the moment.

 

The singles entry list is only the beginning. Fans can also look forward to the reveal of the Women’s Doubles, Men’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles line-ups, as well as the announcement of Host Wildcards and WTT Nominations coming soon.

 

The finals weekend is expected to sell out fast — tickets are available now via official ticketing partners at ussmash.com.
