CCTV-5 has revealed today's (2025.8.20) WTT European Grand Slam table tennis broadcast schedule: four matches are planned, with two to be shown live, featuring Sun Yingsha and Chen Xingtong.

Based on the schedule diagram above, the following details can be concluded:

1. At 7:10 PM tonight, Chen Xingtong will play Pavade in the women's singles, broadcast live on CCTV-5+ and the Yangshipin platform.
2. At 8:20 PM tonight, Sun Yingsha will compete against Yuan Jianan in the women's singles, broadcast live on CCTV-5 and the Yangshipin app.

There are four matches involving Chinese players in the evening session. CCTV-5 will only air the matches of Sun Yingsha and Chen Xingtong, while the other matches will be available via paid streaming on Migu Video for those interested.

Pre-match Predictions

1. Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, ranked number one in women's doubles, are considered unbeatable and are expected to advance regardless of their opponents.
2. The opponents of Chen Xingtong and Sun Yingsha in the women's singles, Pavade and Yuan Jianan, are not seen as serious threats, so both are expected to progress smoothly to the next round.
3. The men's doubles outcome is difficult to predict, as both teams have a chance to move forward. Lin Shidong and Huang Youzheng have competed many times but haven't achieved great results. Their opponents, Lebrun and Poret, are very strong, making victory extremely challenging. Personally, I give Lin Shidong and Huang Youzheng about a 40% chance of winning.
