The 7th table tennis world championship took place from January 31 to February 5, 1933 in the spa town of Baden ( Austria ) in the Trink-Kurhalle (today's casino). Players from 16 nations were represented, including for the first time some from Belgium .
Overview
Eleven teams fought for the men's title. India was the only non-European country to compete. Hungary had problems in the run-up to create a strong team: some strong junior staff had entered the military, Bellák and Szabados were absent for disciplinary reasons. Nevertheless, Hungary was strong enough to regain the title of world champion. In the first round, the defending champions from Czechoslovakia were defeated in a fiercely competitive game.
The German team surprised several times pleasantly with the very close 4-5 defeat against the reigning world champion Czechoslovakia and the clear 5-1 win against Yugoslavia . In the end it was only enough for 7th place.
In the men's singles, the Hungarian Victor Barna defends his title. In the women's final, Anna Sipos wins again against Mária Mednyánszky in the all-Hungarian final . Astrid Krebsbach from Germany took 3rd place. Anita Felguth / Annemarie Schulz won another 3rd place for Germany in a women's doubles.
