🏓 The WTT China Smash in the Chinese mainland is serving up serious table tennis vibes! Top seed Sun Yingsha kicked off her Tuesday with a smooth 3-0 singles win over Zhu Sibing, conceding just 10 points. No sweat – just pure dominance. 💪🎉
Later that evening, Sun teamed up with world champ partner Wang Chuqin for mixed doubles. These two legends (three world titles between them!) were tested by Australia’s Aditya Sareen and India’s Yashaswini Ghorpade. Down one game, they flipped the script and stormed back 11-13, 11-4, 11-5, 11-7. Talk about a roller-coaster comeback! 🔥👏
Next hurdle? Home favorites Chen Yuanyu and Kuai Man, who just stunned top seeds Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin. Fans from Dhaka to Manila are buzzing – who’ll make the semis?
There were shocks elsewhere: Chinese Taipei prodigy Lin Yun-ju bowed out 3-2 to Japan’s Yukiya Uda after fourth seed Tomokazu Harimoto’s surprise exit. Local hopefuls Lin Shidong, Xiang Peng and wildcard Zhou Qihao all advanced, while qualifier Yuan Licen fell 3-0 to Sweden’s Kristian Karlsson.
Stay tuned for more epic matches, upsets and table tennis thrills straight from the Chinese mainland! 🌏✨
