The women’s singles competition features Lynda Loghraibi (Algeria), Adriana Diaz (Puerto Rico), Zhou Jingyi (Singapore), and Yang Xiaoxin (Monaco).

Eighty-six men and eighty-six women will compete in the singles events. 

The ITTF also named three African umpires – Akram Ben Attia (Tunisia), Es-Sayed Elrawdy (Egypt), and Ronald Mugwanya (Uganda) – for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
