14-year-old Singaporean, Izaac Quek Yong, is now ranked as the world’s number one on the International Table Tennis Federation world ranking for players under the age of 15.
Izaac first started training at the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA)’s Bishan Zone Training Centre when he was 7 years old.
HE was then selected to join the junior development squad and youth training squad, and he then continued his journey in the Singapore Sports School and was chosen for STTA’s intermediate squad.
Izaac then won the Cadet Boys’ singles title without losing a single match at the ITTF Swedish Junior and Cadet Open last year.
STTA said that Izaac is the first Singaporean to accomplish this new milestone.
