In the women's singles, Marina Donner from MBF is the favorite to win the championship, having secured the title for five consecutive years. However, strong contenders are expected to challenge her, including Maria Girlea from PT Jyväskylä and Aleksandra Titievskaja from PT Espoo. Donner expressed excitement about competing for the national title again, acknowledging some nerves but emphasizing her intention not to succumb to pressure during the competition.
On the men's side, the top seed in singles is Alex Naumi from Kosken Kaiun. Notably absent from this year's competition is the dominant player of the last few years, Benedek Oláh, who is currently competing in the Major League in the United States. This absence opens up the field for other contenders in the men's bracket, creating an intriguing atmosphere for the upcoming matches, as players vie for national prestige and recognition in Finnish table tennis.
