Valentina, the Allieve national champion, is No. 5 in the Ligurian rankings and 54th in the Italian rankings. Alongside her are two table tennis players who are still young but already very experienced: Valeria Zefiro, class of 1990, number 1 in Liguria and 23rd in Italy; Simona Rossini, class of 1992, fourth in the region and 48th in the national ranking.
Also worth keeping an eye on is Tennistavolo Savona, which alongside the talented 14-year-old Stella Frisone, 90th in Italy, can field Elisa Marzolla, class of 1983, No. 46 in the national rankings, and Israeli Dana Saporta, class of 1985, a veteran of the A1 Series championship.”.
