Aditya "Adi" Sareen (born April 28, 2008) is an Australian professional table tennis player. He is the youngest-ever Men’s Singles champion at a continental championship (ITTF-Oceania), a title he won at age 15. As of 2026, he competes in Major League Table Tennis for the Los Angeles Spinners.
Early life and education
Sareen was born in Melbourne, Australia. Shortly after his first birthday, his family relocated to New Jersey, United States. He began playing table tennis at the age of nine. To balance his professional training with academics, Sareen attends the Laurel Springs School, an online private school designed for elite student-athletes.
Career
Training and development
Sareen's technical development was primarily established at Princeton Pong in New Jersey, first under the tutelage of former Chinese professional and coach Ying Peng and later under coach Cory Eider of Lily Yip Table Tennis Center. Sareen developed a high-speed, aggressive "two-winged" attacking style. His training regime at Princeton Pong, often involving six hours of daily practice, enabled him to reach the world No. 1 ranking in the ITTF U15 category by 2023.
International career
Representing Australia, Sareen made history at the 2023 ITTF-Oceania Championships by winning the Men’s Singles gold medal at 15 years old, becoming the youngest continental champion in the sport's history. He has since remained a core member of the Australian National Team, competing in the 2024 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Busan and the 2025 Oceania Championships, where he secured a silver medal in Men's Singles.
Major League Table Tennis
In 2023, Sareen was selected in the second round of the inaugural Major League Table Tennis draft by the Seattle Spinners. For the 2025–2026 season, he joined the Los Angeles Spinners.
Playing style and equipment
Sareen is a right-handed shakehand attacker, known for aggressive counter-looping and close-to-the-table pressure. He is a sponsored athlete for Butterfly.
