Regardless of the men's or women's team, the national table tennis advantage is obvious. Fan Zhendong, Malone, and Liang Jingkun currently rank among the top three in the men's singles world. Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan are 11th and 12th respectively. Guoping also occupies the top four in the world of women's singles, in turn as Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi. Chen Xingtong, who was ranked later, was also 13th. Faced with the strong lineup of the national table tennis, the U.S. team's equivalent opponent has a high probability of winning.
