slightly lesser power. He is ranked 106 in the world.

Good news! At the Paris World Table Tennis
Championships, most Indian players topped the grueling qualifying
group action, young guns Soumyajit Ghosh, Sanil Shetty, Harmeet Desai
advanced. Also advancing to the Preliminary rounds were Shamini, Mouma, Neha, and Madhurika.
It takes a massive amount of effort to win through and even reach the
main draw of 128 players. Best of seven group matches followed by best
of seven preliminary rounds. So, a player who hopes to win the
Championship via the qualifying route has to win much more than 10
rounds!!! This is the reason Jorg Rosskopf, the coach of the German team
feels that the World Championships are tougher than the Olympic
competition for Table Tennis.
India's Sharath Kamal is already directly seeded into the main draw, where he is expected to meet Timo Boll in the 2nd round.

Great news for Indian Table Tennis!
India reached the finals after winning against England in a close
encounter in the semi finals of the Commonwealth Table Tennis
Championships at Delhi 3-2. The Indian women, however, were unlucky
against England and lost 2-3.
Soumyajit Ghosh, already taking on huge International responsibilities and delivering!
Soumyajit was the hero of the day for India at the Commonwealth Table
Tennis Championships at Delhi. He beat experienced Andrew Baggaley and
Sam Walker to give India two wins. India made it to the finals, where they play a strong Singapore team.
Soumyajit plays fearlessly and one hopes he does the same against the
mighty Singapore team. He had beaten very high ranked players and helped
India win a medal at the World Junior Championships in the recent
years.
Neha Agarwal and Mouma Das played some
outstanding Table Tennis for India in the Commonwealth Table Tennis
Championships at New Delhi. Neha beat Yihan Zhou, ranked 91, while Mouma
Das gave a tremendous fight to World No. 4 and Star player of
Singapore, Feng Tianwei (losing in the deciding game). India however,
managed to beat the other teams, Scotland and Wales to advance to the
semi finals where they meet England.
With the kind of form
they have shown in the 1st and 2nd stage league matches, they have a
realistic chance of making it to the finals.
