The Chinese table tennis team officially announced the participation list today, and Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng led the competition in the five individual events of men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Fan Zhendong from Guangzhou officially leads the Chinese men's table tennis team, and he will participate in the men's singles and men's doubles events. The collective absence of Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, whose average age is over 30 years old, means that Liu Shiwen from Guangzhou has no chance to defend the women's singles champion. The 27-year-old Chen Mengruo will be crowned the 11th Grand Slam player in the history of international table tennis after the women's singles seal at the World Table Tennis Championships.
