The 2025 US Open Table Tennis Championships saw nearly thirteen hundred players compete in 115 events with the US Open Title events (men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, mixed doubles), age events from U11 to 85 years and over, rating events (both adult and junior versions from U1000 to U2000, as well as U2600, U2400 and U2200), seven Para events, five Classic events (sandpaper and hard bat), a Parkinson Open and Family Generational Doubles. Top honors in singles this year went to Kanak Jha and Yan Guo, who won the men’s singles and women’s singles titles.
The two signature table tennis events in the United States (the Open and the Nationals) are unique to our sport – not just an invitation to the top 20 or 30 players, but an open invitation to our entire table tennis community to come to one large venue and compete. Table tennis is one of the most inclusive sports, reaching players of all ages and abilities. Our sport has evolved from a simple game to a demanding high-speed/endurance test. The technology of our sport can create torque and bend and add speed, but it can also soften, straighten and simplify… so that our sport can reach a wide range of players and our governing body can balance the representation of international and national athletes, as well as students, schools, clubs and leagues. Our biggest tournaments have grown into massive events that invite all these aspects of our American sports into one space to compete (and encourage, communicate and support).
Minseo Oh of South Korea won the men’s singles in a tight battle with Koyo Kanamitsu of Japan. Yan Guo won the women’s singles for the second year in a row, this time in an all-Chinese final against Chen Sun. Americans had some solid runs in the Open Singles events, with Amy Wang finishing third in the women’s singles, and Andrew Cao and Nandan Naresh both being quarterfinalists in the men’s singles.
Chulong Nie defeated Nandan Naresh in the men’s U21 singles final. Eunjung Ban won the U21 women’s singles. I-Fan Lin topped Ryan Lin in U19 Boys, Yuanxinai Yuan won both U19 and U17 Girls (beating Sally Moyland in U19 and Lilan Ma in U17). U17 Boys went to Kef Noorani over Manh Luang Do. U15 Boys went to Stephen Lu over Khevine Khieth Cruz. U15 Girls was won by Jiaqi Zhu of Jiamao Sun. U13 Boys went to Ryuya Kojima over Tanish Mamidyala. U13 Girls was won by Ai Lin Ho from Tiana Piyadasa. U11 Boys went to Licheng Zhang over Hudson Yang. And U11 Girls went to Ai Lin Ho over Karina Xiao.
In what is now an American table tennis tradition, some household names have brightened the leaderboards. Jimmy Butler won four titles (50+ Men’s Singles, and alongside Derek May he also won 40& Over Men’s Doubles and 50& Over Men’s Doubles, and 40 & Over Mixed with Lily Yip) before tackling the classic events where he won three more titles (Hardbat, Hardbat Doubles and Sandpaper). The May family are prominent again this year, not only Derek in a pair of doubles victories, but also his father Pete who won in the 80 & Over Men’s Doubles. Dan Seemiller won two events (Men’s 65+ and 70 & Over Doubles) and added five more medals. It wouldn’t be a major championship without the names Sweeris and Sakai on the leaderboard – this year Dell Sweeris won a pair of doubles titles as well as Men’s 80+ singles, and Connie Mae Sweeris won a pair of doubles titles (75 & Over Mixed with Dell and 75 & Over Women’s with Donna Sakai). Donna Sakai has one title (75 & Over Women’s Doubles) and three other medals, and her husband David Sakai has three medals of his own. Lily Yip won five titles (Women’s 50+ Singles, 40 & Over Women’s Doubles and Mixed, and 50 & Over Mixed Doubles and 60 & Over Mixed) and Patty Martinez-Kahn has one gold title, but collected six additional medals with her doubles.
