\nLAS VEGAS, US. May 30th, 2025 – <\/strong>The singles line-up for US Smash 2025<\/a> has officially dropped<\/a>, and it\u2019s a blockbuster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nHugo Calderano<\/a>, fresh from making continental history with a trailblazing ITTF Men\u2019s World Cup title<\/a> and a World Championships<\/a> final appearance, leads a hard-hitting Pan American charge.
