The Seamaster T2 Diamond 2019 series is gearing up for the start of its second season with a star-studded list of the world’s top 16 male and top 16 female players set to thrill, entertain and defy the play.

The first of three events this year is taking place at Pinewood Studios in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, between 18-21 July 2019, where 32 of the world’s best table tennis players will compete for a combined prize purse of USD1.5 million and bonus ITTF World Ranking points as they battle their way to 2020 Tokyo Olympic qualification.

Spectators will be able to feel the energy reverberate through the first-of-a-kind circular field of play at the T2 Cavern, allowing the audience to enjoy a 360° view of all the action as it unfolds.

A total of 32 matches will be played across the four-day event, in which the Men’s and Women’s Champions of the T2 Diamond 2019 series Timo Boll (GER) and Bernadette Szocs (ROU) will be out to defend their titles, but will face stiff competition from a whole host of world-class players, listed below (in order of ITTF World Tour points accumulated so far in 2019):
