ITTF ProTour Grand Finals

[Dan]

The prestigious tournament will be staged in the Olympic Gymnastic Stadium in Seoul, the venue that was the home for the KAL Korean Open in 2009; when Japan’s Jun Mizutani and Singapore’s Feng Tianwei emerged as the respective Men’s and Women’s Singles winners.

To qualify for this tournament players must earn a certain number of points from IITF Pro Tours throughout 2010. The highest points go in the Pro Tour Grand Finals at the end of the year.

There will be two events. The under 21's and the Mens singles

Ryu Seung Min not selected in the Korean team which competed in the Asian Games in November. Speculation to weather Ryu Seung Min is about to retired were banished as this is what he had to say:

“I am totally focused on the Olympic Games in London and then we will see”, those were the words of Korea’s Ryu Seung Min, to scotch rumours regarding any impending retirement from international play. (http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf_full_story1.asp?ID=22785&Competition_ID=2004&)
