Ball has not participated in any competition since winning the men's singles bronze medal at the World Table Tennis Championships, the 41-year-old veteran is facing a decline in form and physical strength, and injuries continue to affect his training, through the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the Swedish men's team has a great rise and has the strength to regain control of the european men's line.
Ball is the biggest opponent of the Chinese men's table tennis team since 2000, winning the World Cup twice, defeating Kong Linghui in the final in 2002 to win the world championship for the first time, and winning consecutive victories over Wang Liqin, Ma Lin and Wang Hao in 2005.

At the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Ball finally won a valuable men's singles bronze medal at the age of 40.
During Pol's participation in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, unfortunately suffered from the new crown, returned to China after isolation treatment, fortunately after half a month of basic recovery, Pol also went to participate in the wedding of teammate Francesca, but unfortunately the good times were not long, Pol was hit again, and the abdominal muscle strain had to withdraw from the Club Cup. Bol's Club Düsseldorf is also a strong team in German men's table tennis, in addition to Bol's big tree, there are straight-board Chinese general Qiu Dang, Sweden's Carlberg and the Netherlands's Hester. Ball's absence had an impact on Düsseldorf's bid for the German league and cup titles.

Once Ball and Ochalov retire, the German men's table tennis position as the boss in Europe will probably be lost, and the Swedish men's team is expected to take its place.
