WTT Champions Montpellier update: Out of seven Chinese competitors, only two progressed to the round of 16, marking a disappointing outcome!
Seven Chinese players competed over two days, but only two managed to win and advance to the round of 16.
In women’s singles, Wang Yidi and Chen Yi won to advance, while Chen Xingtong and Kuai Man were defeated and knocked out in their opening matches.
In men’s singles, Xiang Peng, Wen Ruibo, and Chen Yuanyu all lost their matches and were eliminated in the first round.
Post-match summary
The top three seeds in the women’s singles draw all came from the Chinese team, but only the third seed Wang Yidi won to proceed to the next round, while Chen Xingtong and Kuai Man were unfortunately defeated. Therefore, please do not claim that China did not send their main players.
The men’s singles players were completely wiped out; this competition felt very frustrating and disappointing.
The Chinese team really needs to focus on building their development pipeline, as it has been a long time since we've seen dominant players like Ma Long and Fan Zhendong!
