After the closed training session in Zhuhai concluded, the main contingent of the Chinese National Table Tennis Team headed straight to Nanning to participate in the WTT Star Contender.
The biggest highlights of this tournament were the mixed doubles partnership between Men's Team captain Wang Chuqin and his new partner Xiao Ding, as well as the participation of the top players from the Japanese Table Tennis Team. Tomokazu Harimoto and Zhang Benmihe not only occupied the second-seed positions in men's and women's singles respectively, but were also the third seeds in mixed doubles.
For the first time in half a year, Wang Chuqin was competing in three events, and with a new mixed doubles partner to boot. Once again, discussions erupted across the internet. Earlier rumors had circulated claiming that Sha-Tou had broken up, that Wang Chuqin had been unfaithful and abandoned his partner for a junior sister, that Sun Yingsha had traveled alone to Country A to heal her heartbreak, and so on.
