Q&A with Tomislav Pucar
TTfit are thrilled to publish a recent interview we had with current World # 32 ranked Table Tennis player Tomislav Pucar.
Tomislav is 24 years old, was born in Croatia, and currently plays full time for TTC Rhonsprudel Fulda-Maberzel in the Bundesliga, Germany. He recently reached the last 16 of the World Singles Championships in Hungary in which he defeated Bastien Steger and even more impressively the World # 12 Dimitrij Ovtcharov along the way.
Tomislav also had a brilliant junior career and among his many achievements were a silver medal in the European Youth Singles Championships in Ostrava in 2013 and a gold medal in the European Under 21 Singles Championships in Sochi in 2017.
TTFit want to thank Tomislav for taking the time to do this interview and wish him all the best in the future!
