On the 22nd, the Chinese team hosted two women's singles semifinals in the 2025 Asian Cup Table Tennis Tournament, with Sun Yingsha against Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu against Kuo Man, thus locking the women's singles championship in advance and achieving 6 consecutive championships. China will also have a civil war between Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun in the men's singles semi-finals, so they will qualify for the final in advance, and Wang Chuqin will also advance to the semi-finals, and China is also expected to host the men's singles final.
