Every time I see the table tennis pro players, they often wipe the front part of the table, why?

Hi Neul,

This is to dry their hands and keep their hands a little cooler.  In some cases it just becomes a habit.

Hahaha it's just to dry their hands because of sweating . Drying your hands provide good grip between hand and the handle so that your bat doesn't slip while playing strokes.
