WTT Champions is the top tier of the WTT Series, and in Macao, $800,000 USD will be on offer in prize money. The top 32 players in both men and women go into straight into the Round of 32, and play a straight knockout.

The star studded field includes Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Darko Jorgic, Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Quadri Aruna and Truls Möregårdh involved in the men’s event, and Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Miwa Harimoto and Bernadette Szocs in the women’s event.

Last year, Pitchford got off to a great start in Macao, defeating France’s Simon Gauzy 3-1. Liam then lost to Ma Long 3-1 in the Round of 16, but this time, the famed Chinese superstar will not be taking part. In 2022, Liam succumbed to Swede Truls Möregårdh in the Round of 32.

The draw is due to take place over the weekend, and the main draw will be updated into this page.
