The Sino Professionals Association (SPA), one of major Chinese organizations in Houston, Texas, successfully hosted the 2017 HuaXia “CaP Cup” of table tennis singles championship on December 9th 2017 at the Texas Table Tennis Training Center (“TTT”). This tournament was co-organized by Texas Chinese Radio Station AM1050 and TTT, with title sponsorship from the company of Capital Plastics (CaP). SPA has held this event every year since 1992 and has made an outstanding influence on the table tennis development in the Greater Houston Area.
This annual tournament aims at promoting the sports and friendship through competition of all levels of play. The event has reached a new level of height this year. A total of $2,000 cash prize was distributed in the tournament, with the Champion prize of $800, $400, $200, and $200, respectively, for the top four winners. Cash prize and trophies were awarded to top three winners in all divisions, including Division A (champion), B (middle), C (challenger) and D (junior). A total of 55 players participated in the competition from Texas. The tourney featured some US top players, such as Kewei Li, Alfred Najem, and Michael Tran. Top two seeds are Kewei Li, ever the No. 1 player according to the USATT rating, and Alfred Najem, former Lebanese champion. Kewei Li was the champion at the 2014 Cary Cup and the finalist at 2013. Michael Tran is the 2017 US Junior Boys' Team member. Player’s high rating, spin, speed, and strategy showed that this was a high-level tournament.

There was spirited play through all rounds, with players competing across all the four divisions. Exciting early play took place among both veterans and newcomers alike, including such players as Roberto Dino Byles, Randy Hou, Frank Yu, and Shuang Yu.
