The Polish Junior Open is the twelfth Junior event of the year. Surprisingly, the Chinese players are not dominating the Junior Circuit as the top Junior Boys have emerged from European and some of the Asian countries other than China. So the chances for
the non-Chinese players are pretty high to dominate in the near future on the international table tennis circuit.
