WTT CEO blames Calderano for Las Vegas visa issue

diariodocentrodomundo.com.br (Portuguese)

World Table Tennis CEO Steve Dainton blamed Hugo Calderano for his absence from the WTT Grand Smash Las Vegas, citing insufficient visa preparation. Dainton stated that Calderano, ranked third globally, should have secured his U.S. visa earlier. The official emphasized the importance of players taking responsibility for logistical preparations, not just on-table performance. Calderano's 2023 trip to Cuba made him ineligible for visa-free entry. Despite attempts to obtain an emergency visa, no interview slots were available before the tournament.
