It is often the case that we find someone came out of nowhere and did something big in international competitions. There are actually ways to keep up with the whole story. Follow the domestic competitions! As you may have noticed this article falls into our new series "Catch Up". The series will cover information and brief results of the domestic competitions. Since there may not be always live streaming or video of these competitions available out there (meaning that I may not be able to follow the entire tournament), articles in this series will not include all the details and analysis of the tournament but concise articles with the links directed to the official results. I hope you enjoy the series and do check our 2018 Table Tennis Calendar which has listed some major international and domestic competitions.
