More information

Zeng Jian is one of Singapore’s most accomplished table tennis players, renowned for her consistency, tenacity, and outstanding performances on the international stage.

Her breakthrough came at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where she captured two gold medals — in the women’s team and doubles events — and a silver medal in the singles. In the singles final, Zeng put on a thrilling display of skill and determination, leading by three sets before narrowly falling to compatriot Feng Tianwei in an all-Singapore showdown. Teaming up once again with Feng, she went on to claim the doubles gold with a commanding 3–0 victory over Australia’s Jee Minhyung and Jian Fang Lay.

Later that year, Zeng spearheaded Singapore’s campaign at the 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Chengdu, leading a young squad featuring Zhou Jingyi, Wong Xinru, Goi Rui Xuan, and Zhang Wanling. The team topped Group 4 with wins over Iran, Luxembourg, and South Korea, and went on to defeat the Czech Republic 3–1 in the Round of 16. In the Quarter-Finals against seventh-seeded Chinese Taipei, Zeng produced two remarkable upsets — defeating world No. 35 Cheng I-Ching and world No. 22 Chen Szu-Yu — securing two crucial points for Singapore in a narrow 2–3 loss. Over the course of the tournament, she demonstrated exceptional form, winning eight matches in seven days.

Zeng carried that momentum into the 2023 SEA Games, where she captured her first gold medal at the regional level, further underscoring her standing as one of Singapore’s leading players.

In 2024, Zeng achieved another milestone — qualifying for the Paris Olympic Games, marking a significant chapter in her illustrious career.

In 2025, Zeng added more medals to her cabinet, winning the Women’s Doubles title at the WTT Feeder Manchester 2025 with Dina Meshref of Egypt, and leading Singapore back to the podium at the Asian Table Tennis Team Championships 2025 in India with a joint-bronze.

Zeng Jian’s unwavering dedication, ability to thrive under pressure, and consistent excellence make her a cornerstone of the Singapore table tennis team and an inspiration to the next generation of athletes.

MORE INFORMATION:

Ser has distinguished herself as one of the exceptional recipients of the prestigious With The Future In Mind (WFIM) Scholarship in 2021 and 2022 — a highly selective programme that identifies only 30 promising paddlers worldwide. Jointly administered by Olympic Solidarity and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), the WFIM initiative supports outstanding young athletes by providing enhanced training and competition opportunities to aid their journey toward qualification for the Olympic Games or Youth Olympic Games. Notably, Ser was the sole representative from Southeast Asia among the 30 global recipients, underscoring her exceptional potential and commitment to the sport.

Adding to her growing list of accolades, Ser was also honoured with the Sportsgirl of the Year 2021 award at the Singapore Sports Awards, a recognition of her talent, discipline, and consistent performances on the international stage.

In 2023, Ser made her debut at both the SEA Games and the Asian Games, marking a significant milestone in her competitive career. The following year, she continued her impressive form — finishing runner-up in the U19 Girls’ Singles at the WTT Youth Star Contender Singapore 2024, and helping the U19 Girls’ Team capture the team title at the SEA Youth Championships in Kuala Lumpur.

Capping off an outstanding season, Ser played a pivotal role in leading Singapore’s women’s team to victory at the 2024 South East Asian Championships, ending a decade-long wait to reclaim the coveted title.

In 2025, she added even more silverware, as she clinched silvers in both Mixed Doubles and Women’s Doubles at the WTT Feeder Istanbul and WTT Feeder Cappadocia II respectively. She was also part of the team that clinched bronze at the Asian Table Tennis Team Championships in India, returning Singapore back to the podium after four years.

MORE INFORMATION:

Koen Pang’s journey in table tennis began at the tender age of 5 when he first picked up a paddle. Although he was previously involved in gymnastics, he ultimately chose to pursue table tennis because he found it more intriguing. Throughout his journey, Pang’s family, particularly his mother, has been incredibly supportive of his passion for table tennis.

Recognizing his talent and potential, Pang put his studies on hold to train full-time and was promoted to the National Team, effective from January 1, 2019. In September 2019, he achieved a groundbreaking feat by becoming the first Singaporean to reach the ITTF U18 World Rank No. 1, showcasing his exceptional skills at a young age.

Pang made his debut at the 2019 South East Asian (SEA) Games in the Philippines, where he displayed his extraordinary talent and determination by clinching the Men’s Singles title. This historic achievement earned him the prestigious Straits Times Star of the Month award for December.  Additionally, he won gold in the Men’s Singles and a silver medal in the Men’s Doubles at the 2019 SEA Games, further solidifying his position as a top player.

Pang’s success continued in subsequent competitions, including the 2023 SEA Games, where he contributed significantly to the Singaporean team’s success, winning gold medals in both the Men’s Doubles and Men’s Team events. In the 2022 Commonwealth Games, he played a pivotal role in securing a silver medal for the Men’s Team category. Moreover, Pang’s prowess extended to the 2021 SEA Games, where he emerged victorious in the Mixed Doubles event and earned joint bronze medals in both the Men’s Doubles and Men’s Team events.

In March 2023, Pang and Izaac Quek accomplished a remarkable milestone by becoming the first locally-born national table tennis players to break into the top 100 of the men’s singles rankings. Their exceptional performances and dedication to the sport propelled them into the ranks of the world’s top players, marking a significant achievement for Singapore’s table tennis community.

In 2024, Pang and Quek finished runners up in the Men’s Doubles at the Asian Table Tennis Championships, ending Singapore’s 11-year medal drought in the event.

Izaac Quek is a history maker.

In 2024, he etched his name into Singapore’s sporting history by becoming the youngest-ever male paddler to qualify for the Olympic Games, achieving this remarkable feat at just 18 years old. Later that year, he partnered Koen Pang to capture Singapore’s first Men’s Doubles medal in 11 years at the Asian Table Tennis Championships — also making them the first local-born duo to reach the podium in the event.

Izaac’s trailblazing journey began early. In 2021, he made headlines by becoming the first Singaporean ever to top the ITTF Under-15 Boys’ World Ranking, a clear testament to his extraordinary talent and potential. His steady rise continued, and in March 2023, Quek and Pang achieved another historic breakthrough as the first locally-born Singaporean players to break into the world’s top 100 of the Men’s Singles rankings.

At the Singapore Smash 2023, Quek showcased his ability to compete with the world’s best. He stunned India’s Commonwealth Games champion and world No. 52 Sharath Kamal Achanta, followed by a thrilling win over Sweden’s 2019 World Championships silver medallist Mattias Falck (world No. 32). These victories propelled him to the round of 16, where he faced China’s world No. 3 Wang Chuqin in a spirited contest.

Quek’s SEA Games debut in 2023 was equally spectacular. The young prodigy captured three gold medals — in the Men’s Team, Men’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles events — a stunning achievement that cemented his reputation as one of Asia’s brightest young stars and a key figure in Singapore’s next generation of table tennis champions.
