Just looking at the list of participants, it is generally known that this WTT Macau Championship is likely to become an exhibition match for national table tennis, after all, the five foreign athletes participating in the competition are difficult to threaten the national table tennis players, and it is almost impossible to beat the national table tennis players to win the championship consecutively. The biggest attraction of this competition may be the mixed doubles, after all, this is a head-on contest between "Xinwen Simulcast" and many new generation combinations.
