WTT Feeder Linz 2026: Tin-Tin Ho and Connor Green Enter Three Event Groups, England's Mixed Doubles Hold Top Seed

WTT Feeder Linz 2026 has not started, but the seed list has revealed a clear plan from Table Tennis England. Tin-Tin Ho and Connor Green, England's two players at the event, are entered in three event groups: singles, doubles and mixed doubles. The most notable detail is that Ho and Green are the No. 1 seeds in mixed doubles after winning the WTT Feeder Düsseldorf title. A two-player delegation with maximum event coverage suggests a deliberate points-collection strategy. Ho, ranked 80th in the world, is the No. 4 seed in women's singles and opens against Austria's Sophia Pichler, ranked 777th. Green, ranked 122nd, is the No. 6 seed in men's singles and opens against a qualifier. In men's doubles, Green partners Poland's Zalewski and faces Luxembourg's Tom Scholtes and Mael Van Dessel. Van Dessel and Green won a European U21 doubles bronze together. In women's doubles, Ho partners Slovakia's Kukulkova, the top seed, against India's Taneesha Kotecha and Sayali Wani. The key tactical feature is the absence of an all-English doubles pair. Cross-association partnerships are allowed at WTT events but not at the Olympic Games, where pairs must share the same National Olympic Committee. The mixed-doubles pair are the highest-expectation line, but their No. 1 seed is derived from one title and creates points-defence pressure under the 52-week ranking window. The opening matches will show whether seeding translates into performance.
