The 2025 S-Trend Victorian Open Championships lit up the Gippsland Regional Indoor Sports Stadium on April 5-6 with an unforgettable display of skill & passion. The event drew an impressive 350 entries from across the state, cementing its reputation as one of the premier table tennis tournaments in Australia. 

Opening the tournament alongside Latrobe City Mayor Dale Harriman, TTV Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Pitson expressed her enthusiasm for the event. "The Victorian Open is a highlight of the TTV calendar, and this year was no exception. The energy and sheer talent on display truly showcase the best of our sport," Pitson added.
