ITTF Pan American Cup 2025…

GUYANA Table Tennis Olympian Chelsea Edghill lost her round of 32 clash to Ecuador’s Angelica Arellano 4 set to 1 on Friday at the International Table Tennis Federation Pan American Cup 2025 in San Francisco USA.

The event, sponsored by JP Morgan, saw the national champion battling a tough opponent in her first competition of the year after a training stint in Cuba.
She lost the opening two sets but settled down and found her rhythm to win the third.

She could not sustain the form and struggled in the last two sets to lose 4-1.

Speaking to Guyana chronicle afterwards, she explained, “I think that I had a really slow start with the serves but after the second set I was able to adjust and play better, they were some high points of my game that really improved and I’m really glad about that but they are some smaller things that could have been done a lot better but overall I feel as I could have won the match but small steps and it’s a good indicator of what’s to come in the future.”

Meanwhile Guyana’s other athlete Shemar Britton also battled USA’s Nandon Naresh in the main draw, Round 32 last evening.

The players will earn ITTF ranking points and have the opportunity to claim US $20,000 in prize money for reaching the semifinals in the Singles category.

The winners will also be awarded entry into the ITTF Singles World Cup in China this year.
