London – Hit movie "Marty Supreme" put table tennis in the spotlight this year, and organizers of the World Team Championships that started in London this week will be hoping the sport's ​new audience can make it one of the best-supported editions ever.

One hundred years after ‌the first ‌Table Tennis World Championships were staged in London, the biggest names ​descend on the capital for an event that will culminate at Wembley Arena on May 10.

Actor Timothee Chalamet's chaotic portrayal of fictional ping-pong hustler Marty Mauser will be ⁠a world away from the high-class action that begins at London's Copper Box Arena on the Olympic ⁠Park in the early stages.
