Table tennis is fun to play, but watching? Meh, I dunno- it’s OK for a few matches I guess, but again, it’s not tennis, and not a large gathering of fans. It’s a niche sport, like pickle ball or badminton. I played agaisnt some really good players, table tennis, and it was a blast, but again, playing it is better than watching it. The pros of course are much more skilled, quick, etc. But to me it’s just confined to too tight an area, whereas things like tennis take skill and a ton of endurance.
I like wa5ching ax and knife throwing and darts from time to time, but I dunno, they just don’t have “It” as far as primetime “sports” go imo.
I agree that table tennis and badminton are niche sports, though really good play of either is fun to watch. Personally, I get bored sooner watching tennis, but everyone prefers different things.
I haven’t played badminton since I was a kid in the backyard myself. Played table tennis for quite a few years but was never all that good, and now my hands have slowed down a lot. Even at my best, I played guys (and some women, too) who could spot me 18 points and the starting serve and beat me to 21 every time.
