CCTV-5+ and Yangshipin revealed their live broadcast plans for the WTT European Grand Slam table tennis tournament today (August 19, 2025), with a total of five matches, four of which will be aired live, including appearances by Lin Shidong and Kuai Man.

Based on the broadcast schedule above, we can conclude the following:

1. In the evening session, Chinese players will compete in five matches, with four scheduled to be shown live as listed above. The match between Shi Xunyao and Huang Yihua will not be aired on CCTV-5 but will be available via paid streaming on Migu Video. Fans interested in this match can watch it there.
2. Judging by the matchups, it appears that all Chinese team members except Qian Tianyi are expected to advance to the next round without difficulty.
3. Qian Tianyi faces the greatest challenge tonight and could even be eliminated. This is because Fanoka Hashimoto has only lost to Sun Yingsha in international matches over the past three years. Qian Tianyi, stay focused, learn from Shasha, overcome Hashimoto, and strive for victory.
4. The first all-Chinese clash in the second round is Kuai Man versus He Zhuojia, which is unfortunate. If everything goes as expected, Kuai Man should win and move on to the next round.
