Ping Pong Telephone Alphabet

[PhoenixTT]

I called a dentist yesterday to book an appointment. I was asked to spell out my name ('A' as in,,, 'B' as in) and it was awkward to think of a good 'as in' for some letters. It would be nice to have a ready list of TT / PP names or terms to use, like:

A as in Aruna
B as in Boll
C as in Calderano
etc
W as in Wang Chu Qin

 

[PenHoldSandro]

M for Ma Long
R for Ryu Seung Min
And of course, G for @Gozo Calderano

I had some fun with this prompt. TT trigger words:

A is for Antispin!
B is for Booster!
C is for Celluloid!
E is for Equipment Junkie!
I is for Illegal Serves!
L is for Long Pips!
P is for Plastic Ball!
R is for Racket Control!
S is for Speed Glue!
T is for TTR!
U is for Unforced Errors!
V is for VOCs!
Y is for Yellow Card!
