The same champion 2000 points, the Olympic table tennis singles competition is a 7-inning 4-win system, and the World Table Tennis Championships singles are also 7-innings 4-win system. However, at the WTT Grand Slam in Singapore, singles from the qualifiers to the quarter-finals are all 5-set 3-win systems, and only in the final semi-finals and finals do 7 sets and 4-win systems are used.
As we all know, tennis matches, including the Olympic Games, are usually a 3-set 2-win system, except for the men's singles tournament of the Grand Slam (i.e. the Four Opens), which uses a 5-set 3-win system, which makes the game more exciting and intense.
In the previous ITTF Pro Tour (Platinum 7 days, regular 6 days), singles from qualifiers to main matches, the whole process was also a 7-in-4 win system.
Today, the Grand Slam schedule is 14 days, which is equal to the time of the Olympic Games and twice as long as the time of the individual World Table Tennis Championships. If the singles are played in a 7-in-4 win system, the athletes will not be too tired and the game will be more exciting.
