38th Trofeo Internacional Ciudad de Barcelona de Tenis de Mesa

The reigning champion, Darko Jorgić, currently world number 10, returns to defend the title with the aggressive, precise style that has taken him to the elite. Opposite him is a historic rival: Panagiotis Gionis, a legend with six Olympic appearances, considered one of the circuit’s most charismatic and respected defenders. His presence guarantees spectacle, experience and a tactical duel of the highest level.

The tournament will also feature the debut of American Kanak Jha (world number 23), a player who represents the new generation: fast, unpredictable and with an attacking ability capable of changing a match in seconds.

The local talent will have names of its own. Álvaro Robles from Huelva, the first Spaniard to reach a World Championship final and European mixed doubles champion, arrives at one of the best moments of his career. Alongside him, Juan Pérez, runner-up in Spain and a competitor in the German Bundesliga, will make his first appearance at the TICB with his sights set on a podium that could mark a before and after.

This year’s edition promises a clash of styles, generations and careers that turns every point into a small duel of nerves and precision. A tournament designed for those who want to see up close how a match is decided at the speed of a blink.
