11th Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships 1994
(Hyderabad, India)

The 1994 Championships were dominated by Canada's Johnny Huang, Men's Singles champion in 1991, who was undefeated in the Team event, and went on to win all three individual titles — the Men's Singles against Alan Cooke (ENG), the Men's Doubles with Joe Ng, and the Mixed Doubles with Barbara Chiu — indeed a unique achievement.

Despite Huang's three wins in the Men's Team final, England won 5-3. The Hong Kong ladies, as expected, won the Women's Team event for the 3rd successive Championships, but they lost the Doubles to Andrea Holt and Lisa Lomas of England 3-1 in the final.

Most memorable match of the whole Championships was Alan Cooke (ENG) versus Joe Ng (CAN), with Alan winning the fisr game 27-25 after saving 11 game points, he then lost the next two games, won the 4th at 19, and had to save 3 match points before winning the 5th. Cooke, emotionally drained, lost 0-3 to Huang in the final.

The expected challenge to Chai Po Wa's superiority, in the Women's Singles from Neo-Singaporean Jing Junhong, evaporated when, after Jing winning the first game 23-21, Chai came back to win the next three games capturing the title for the 3rd successive Championships.

The non-arrival of the African teams caused problems with scheduling of the Team events, and resulted in the BGM deciding that for future Championships only teams for whom firm E.T.A.'s have been notified, would be included in the Team draws.
