This year's table tennis tournament changed the five individual events at the Jakarta Asian Games to seven. The cancelled men's and women's doubles matches were revived. In this way, the national table tennis can launch an impact on the champions of seven events.
After the end of the 2022 Singapore WTT Grand Slam tournament, Fan Zhendong firmly dominated the men's world ranking first place. Chen Meng also returned to the women's world number one ranking through the women's singles championship. The two are still a brother and a sister of China's national table tennis. They will also lead their teammates to work towards all seven championships. Fan Zhendong won two titles in men's singles and men's doubles in the last competition. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, Fan Zhendong is very likely to be in charge of four events. Launch an assault on the gold medals of men's team, men's doubles, men's singles, mixed doubles.
Chen Meng lost 3:4 to Wang Manyu in the women's singles final of the last Asian Games and won the second place. Wang Manyu did not qualify for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

It is also very likely that this Asian Games will be able to combine four events. We will continue to work towards the gold medal in all events again. Fans who like Sun Yingsha all hope that Sasha can win in a single competition. Sasha needs to prove herself in singles matches.
