The Newgy Ohio Open concluded with California's Dan Liu taking top honors and $1400 by winning both the u2600 and Open events with 20 consecutive wins! With groups of 8 players in every event and 4 advancing from each group, most players were able to play 15-25 matches over the course of the weekend. I would like to personally congratulate all the winners.

1)      Why do you play? 
I like table tennis because it is much more tactical than the other sports that I have previously played.
 
2)      Which is your favorite tournament? 
My favorite tournaments are qualifying events like the North American Cup, National Team Trials, and Olympic Trials.
 
3)      Who is your primary nemesis? 

When hitting backhands, many table tennis players do a great job hitting to different locations.  Because they are able to bend at the wrist, these players are easily able to contact the inside of the ball, the back of the ball, and the outside of the ball in order to hit to different locations.
