Singapore's young table tennis team, averaging 22 years old, is heading to the Asian Games in Japan with confidence but acknowledges the challenge of competing against top-tier Asian teams. The team, coached by Gao Ning, includes both experienced and debutant players across both men's and women's squads. STTA president Poh Li San emphasized that while the team does not set specific medal goals, the focus is on giving their best performance and gaining valuable competitive experience. Singapore has historically won at least one medal in the Asian Games since 2002, but their streak ended at the last edition in Hangzhou, China. Players like Izaac Quek aim to improve upon their previous performances.
