It is the International Table Tennis Federation WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament ushered in the final battle, the national table tennis players played well in this competition, won all five gold medals, the performance is quite outstanding, to know that the national table tennis in the three doubles events only sent a pair of combinations to participate, the final victory is very valuable, Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu won the women's doubles championship, Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin won the men's doubles championship, and Sun Yingsha / Wang Chuqin won the mixed doubles championship.
