Whether it was the aftereffect of losing the mixed doubles or fluctuations in their respective forms, Shasha lost to Chen Meng in the ensuing singles matches, taking second place. In the women's doubles, her pairing with Wang Yidi was defeated by Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, also securing second place.
Wang Chuqin fell to Ma Long in the men's singles semi-finals, missing out on the final. In the end, Fan Zhendong defeated Ma Long to claim the men's singles title. In the men's doubles, the pair of Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin lost to Xu Xin and Ma Long, settling for the top four.
Although she finished as runner-up in both singles and women's doubles, the Hebei Team had won the women's team event earlier. Thus, Shasha actually walked away from this National Championships with two titles and two runner-up finishes, claiming the most medals of any athlete! Others, like Manyu, secured two titles and one bronze, while even formidable members of the Men's Team like Fan Zhendong and Ma Long managed only one title and one runner-up finish.
