Tomokazu Harimoto won the first game against Lin Shidong, but with Japan already down 0-6 the result was all but a foregone conclusion. Shidong dominated the next two games and China claims Gold with an 8-1 score at this rendition of the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup. The two 3-0 wins for China were Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha (both World No. 1) over Matsushima and Odo in Mixed Doubles and Wang Manyu (World No. 2) over Miwa Harimoto.
There are no surprises in a team event where one squad has World No. 1 and 2 in both male and female singles categories. China has had absolute dominance across much of our sport, and a team format makes upsets even more unlikely – as its likely three separate upsets would need to occur in one team match for China to fall. Still, this format will be in play at the next Olympics, and the rest of the world has a few months to make adjustments.
For their part, Japan has clearly emerged as the second best team in the world. Tomokazu Harimoto was the highest ranked non-Chinese male present and the recent rise of Sora Matsushima (World No. 8) provides Japan with a second strong male player. Japan’s women are extremely strong and deep (against the non-Chinese table tennis world) with Miwa Harimoto at World No. 6, Mima Ito at World No. 8, and Satsuki Odo at World No. 14.  In the Semifinals today, second-seeded Japan faced off against the third ranked team, Germany. The Japanese mixed doubles team of Ito and Shinozuka won easily (3-0) over Kaufmann and Franziska. Miwa Harimoto then edged out Sabine Winter 2-1 to give Japan a 5-1 lead. Dang Qiu then won the only match for Germany, taking 2 of 3 over Sora Matsushima. And then Japan closed the door with Matsushima and Togami topping Duda and Qiu. Japan had an early lead that was never truly challenged. And, Tomokazu didn’t play – that is, the top male player for Japan was able to rest for the Final.
Looking forward towards the Olympics, expect that China and Japan will be ready – both with strong contingents in both male and female singles and a history of strong doubles play (for an event where there are potentially three doubles sets and only two singles sets per team match). Its the other teams that will make things interesting. Can Germany improve its female singles play and its doubles? Can Korea’s strong doubles play be matched with a few key upsets. Sweden (who played without Truls Moregard) plays strong doubles and has had big singles upsets – but can their ladies hold their own at this level? If the French men continue to improve, they could have the strongest non-Chinese men’s team coupled with the Lebrun brothers as an experienced doubles team but they need to giant step on the women’s side. And interestingly, Romania may have all the firepower they need on the women’s side – but will their fast improving young male players improve quickly enough?
This is an interesting twist on our sport, and while there are some clear advantages to teams with great players (like China, obviously), the focus on doubles could provide some interesting plot twists in 2028 when Los Angeles hosts the next Olympics.

The ITTF Mixed Team World Cup Chengdu 2025 has delivered a new twist on the sport. Itâ€s a race to 8 games played with your countryâ€s top men and women rotating through three doubles and two singles matches.  The match is mixed doubles where three games are played, the second three games are womenâ€s singles, the third set of three games are singles by the men, the fourth set game is menâ€s doubles, and the final set is womenâ€s doubles. The first team to win 8 games is the winner, whether that mark is achieved in the last game of the fifth match (8-7) or in the third set of matches after an 8-0 sweep.
The first two stages were group play. There were four groups of 4 teams in the first stage. Team USA was the bottom seed in Group 3, and our team lost all three matches (to Korea, Sweden, and Taipei) with a final tally of 3 games won to 24 games lost.
In that first stage, the top two teams in each group qualified to advance, and those 8 squads finished exactly by seed. China and Hong Kong advanced in Group 1, Japan and Croatia advanced in Group 2, Korea Republic and Sweden advanced in Group 3, and Germany and France advanced in Group 4.
Stage 2 also went exactly by seed. China, Japan, Germany, and Korea finished 1-4 and advanced to the third stage. China was 56-16, Japan was 52-25, Germany was 47-38, and Korea Republic was 41-44. The unfortunate team that finished just outside of the top four was France. The French squad actually finished with a better winning percentage (they were 44-45) but they only managed 10 points – losing just one more set than the Korea Republic team who scored 11 points.
The final stage is the semifinals with China taking on the Korea Republic and Germany taking on Japan. These matches will be played tomorrow morning, and then after a brief break – weâ€ll see the Bronze Medal match (for third) followed by the Final.
As a preview, China will be favored in each match over the Korea Republic with a pair of World No. 1 players (Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha) in the opening Mixed Doubles match, Kuai Man in Womenâ€s Singles, Lin Shidong in Menâ€s Singles, followed by doubles pairs that could match World 1 and 2 in both Menâ€s and Womenâ€s. When Korea faced them in the group stage, China won 8-0.
The Japan versus German match-up is more intriguing. Japan has Tomokazu Harimoto and Sora Matsushima who are higher seeds than any of the German men, but Dang Qiu, Franziska, and Duda have all spent time in the Worldâ€s Top 10 in the recent past. On the womenâ€s side, Japan has a decisive advantage, but Germany has strong players capable of upsets with both Kaufmann and Mittleham. When they met in the groups, Japan won 8-3, so Germany will need big performances across their core players.
Action picks up again tomorrow.

I always try to enjoy table tennis. For me, passion is essential to keep doing what I love most.

Q6. What do you do when youâ€re behind in a match?
I focus on finding solutions and avoid getting caught up in negative thoughts. Of course, those thoughts sometimes come to mind, but I try to move past them quickly and focus on figuring out how to turn the match around.

Since Iâ€ve always used Butterfly equipment, nothing has changed in that regard. But having a sponsor that believes in me and always supports me gives me the strength to keep doing my best.

The final Ping Aspire event of the season brought together an enthusiastic and diverse group of players at Kintbury Table Tennis Club, rounding off the series with a day full of competitive matches, new connections and outstanding sportsmanship. The welcoming atmosphere at Kintbury TTC helped set the tone for an event that celebrated improvement, determination and the spirit of community table tennis.



A special acknowledgement goes to Bribar, the series sponsors, whose continued support has enabled the Aspire programme to thrive. Their commitment to providing quality equipment and backing grassroots development has been central to the success of the series. Thanks also to Kintbury Table Tennis Club for hosting the finale and for creating an environment where every player felt valued and ready to perform.
One of the distinguishing features of this event was the breadth of ages, experiences and playing levels represented. From developing juniors to seasoned adults, the mix of competitors demonstrated the inclusive nature of the Aspire ethos. The morning grading sessions allowed players to compete in a structured assessment format, helping organisers place everyone into appropriate tables for the afternoon. This thoughtful approach ensured closely matched contests throughout the second half of the day, with many matches going the distance and generating a fantastic atmosphere around the hall.



When the final points were played and the results tallied, three table winners emerged from the afternoon session. Congratulations to Filip Zmuda, who topped Table 1 with impressive consistency and composure. Mark Laker secured the Table 2 victory with a strong display of tactical awareness, while Bradley Harris claimed the Table 3 title following an afternoon of determined and energetic performances. Each of the winners exemplified the competitive spirit and progress that the Aspire series aims to nurture.



As we reflect on a successful series and a memorable finale, attention now turns to the future. There is growing interest across the region from clubs keen to provide more opportunities for player development.



Any club interested in hosting a future Ping Aspire event is encouraged to get in touch to discuss how to get involved. Hosting is a rewarding way to bring your table tennis community together, engage new players and support the development pathway.

In the 1990s, psychologist Anders Ericsson revolutionized our understanding of expertise. Through his landmark research on expert performers—from musicians to chess players to athletes—he discovered something surprising: what separates world-class performers isn’t innate talent or the quantity of practice, but the quality of practice.
Based on his research, Ericsson went on to write the book Peak: How to Master Almost Anything. Ericsson identified “deliberate practice†as the key ingredient, characterized by focused attention on specific weaknesses, immediate feedback, and systematic progression just beyond one’s comfort zone. This applies just as much to mental training as it does to physical technique.
Core Components of Deliberate Practice
Ericssonâ€s framework identifies five essential elements that can help you transform ordinary practice into deliberate practice: Specific Goals, Full Concentration, Immediate Feedback (from yourself or others), Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone, and Repetition and Refinement. This diagram below shows you some table tennis examples.

Applying Deliberate Practice to Your Physical and Mental Game
When we apply deliberate practice principles to mental training in table tennis, five relevant psychological tools stand out for every player to practice achieving their peak performance.
- Set Process-Oriented Goals. Instead of “win the tournament,†set goals like “execute my focus routine between every point†or “implement breathing strategy when trailing.” These goals are within your control and directly target mental skills, following Ericsson’s principle of specific, measurable objectives. See more tips in Set SMART Process Goals: Focusing on the Journey Over the Destination.
- Create Pressure Situations in Training. Your practice must simulate match conditions. Set up consequences for errors—push-ups, sprints, or lost points. Make training harder than competition so matches feel manageable – this trains your nervous system to perform under stress. See more tips in Handling Pressure in Big Moments: Lessons from Truls Moregardâ€s Grand Smash Victory.
- Get Immediate Feedback. Work with a coach or training partner who observes your mental responses. Record yourself to review body language and emotional reactions. Use self-monitoring checklists during practice.
- Develop Emotional Reset Routines. Create a specific sequence you’ll execute after errors: turn away, deep breath, bounce the ball three times, cue word (“next pointâ€). Practice this routine deliberately after every mistake in training until it becomes automatic. This gives you a reliable tool for emotional regulation during competition. See more tips in Use Pre-Point Routines – Mastering Crunch Time Like Timo Boll.
- Maintain a Detailed Training Journal. After each session, write for five minutes about your mental performance. Which situations triggered anxiety? When did you lose focus? What worked? This reflection converts experience into learning and reveals patterns you can address specifically. See more tips in US Nationals Reflection – Winning the Mental Game.
The Long Game
Deliberate practice for mental training requires patience and consistency. You won’t see dramatic overnight improvements, but over weeks and months, you’ll notice greater composure under pressure, sustained focus, and clearer thinking during critical moments.
Remember that discomfort signals growth. If practice feels easy and comfortable, you’re probably not in the zone where real development occurs – elite players understand this.
Start with one or two specific mental skills, practice them with full concentration using the principles Ericsson identified, and stay committed to the process. The mental edge you’re seeking is built one deliberate session at a time.

Training doesnâ€t take place only at the table. Thereâ€s also shadow-practice, which you can do anywhere. (Thereâ€s also physical training, but thatâ€s another issue.) Itâ€s very difficult to change or develop a new stroke, and learn the timing at the same time (i.e. while hitting at a table). Itâ€s much easier to change or develop a stroke separately with shadow practice, and then learn the timing. For example, when I decided earlier this year that I needed to learn to change my grip for my backhands, I spent way too much time shadow-practicing it until it became automatic to change the grip when I moved to hit a backhand. When I finally tried it at at the table in random drills, the change was automatic and reflexive.
While away from the table is also when you should be thinking about how you can improve. What are the strengths and weaknesses of your game? How can you turn the strengths into overpowering ones (both the shot itself and ways to get it into play) and remove weaknesses? How do you see your game in the future? What drills should you be doing to reach that? Perhaps discuss it with a coach, top player, or your playing partners – they very likely know your game and may have a good perspective on what you should be working on.

China’s championship event was expected to highlight the world’s top two ranked players, and China top-ranked league squad – but an unranked Fan Zhendong stole most of the headlines at the 2025 China National Games in Macao.
Fan’s run in Men’s Singles was epic. He won his early matches to reach the Semifinals and that was exciting for his fans – but expected. The unexpected part was his 4-2 win over World No. 1 Wang Chuqin in the Semifinals. And he followed that accomplishment with a 4-1 domination of World No. 2 Lin Shidong.  When the last point of the Final was over (with the score 11-4), the celebration was muted as both players shook hands and the fans cheered. Fan Zhendong’s smile then grew as he showed one finger and then two fingers. The gestures relayed what everyone was thinking – what a massive accomplishment for Zhendong to beat the World No. 1 and then World No. 2 in consecutive days to take one of the biggest titles in the table tennis world in front of a packed room of fans that used to be his.
The top seeded team won in the Team Event. That is, the Beijing team that is anchored by Wang Chuqin and Ma Long won (as expected). However, the other headline of the Team Final was that Fan Zhendong was also undefeated in matches for his team. And, in fact, in the Final between Chuqin’s Beijing squad and Fan’s Shanghai squad it was another win by Fan Zhendong over World No. 1 Wang Chuqin. Fan won the match, but his squad fell 3-1; overpowered by the top seed.
Fan is now back in Germany where he’ll continue the season playing for Saarbrucken in the TTBL. Fan’s professional arc has included World No. 1, winning the World Championships, winning the World Cup, and his last major title before stepping away from the tour – the 2024 Olympic Singles title. Since that time, he’s been at odds with the ITTF and WTT and he was replaced on the Chinese National Team. But at least at this moment, this unranked player has proven again that he is one of the best (perhaps THE best). Fan Zhendong is back in Germany, but he’s also on top of the table tennis world.

World Youth Championships: China takes 6 of 14 Titles – Butterfly Table Tennis & Ping Pong Equipment
November 30, 2025
(By Steve Hopkins, photo ITTF)
Today was the final day of action at the ITTF World Youth Championships in Cluj Napoca, Romania. China claims wins in six of the 14 events, with Japan winning three, Taipei and Germany winning a pair, and Thailand winning the remaining event.
The U19 Boys Team event went to Japan. Taipei was the second seed, and they defeated China in the Quarterfinals 3-1 before falling 2-3 to India. For its part, Japan had little trouble with Korea in their Semifinal match (winning 3-1) and then rolled past India 3-0.
U19 Boys featured Japan/China match-ups in both Semifinals. Japan won both of those matches, and then Ryuusei Kawakami won the Final over Kazuki Yoshiyama 4-2. The top players in these events are not always the best players at that age (sometimes 17 or 18 year olds make the transition to the professional tour ranks and stop competing in youth events). That said, these are great results for Japan with Kawakami winning at just 16 years old.
Top seed Anna Hursey of Wales reached the Semifinals, but otherwise the U19 Girls Singles event was dominated by China. Hursey lost to eventual winner, Qin Yuxuan. And runner-up Zong Geman defeated Japan’s Yuna Ojio in the other Semifinal. Qin won 4-2 in the Final.
Interestingly, the U19 Doubles and Teams results were not as expected. U19 Boys’ Doubles went to Taipei’s team of Kuo and Hsu who defeated the Japanese team of Kawakami and Yoshiyama (who had finished first and second in Singles). The same is true in U19 Girls Doubles where the first and second place finishers in Singles (Zong/Qin) lost to Wales’ Anna Hursey and Germany’s Mia Griesel. Mixed Doubles went to a Chinese pair of Li/Qin who topped Iulian Chirita of Romania who had teamed with Anna Hursey. The U19 Teams events did follow the pattern established in Singles with Japan winning U19 Boys and China winning U19 Girls.
Taipei won the U15 Boys Teams with a 3-2 win over Italy. Both Finalists were surprises as Taipei needed to upset Iran and then upset top-seeded Korea to reach the Final, and Italy needed to upset Romania, then upset Japan, and then upset China. Ultimately, the the battle of Cinderellas, it was Taipei winning 3-2.
It was an all-China Final in the U15 Boys Singles event with Yu Haiyang defeating Zhou Guanhong 4-2. German Koharu Itagaki won Girls U15 Singles with a 4-2 win over China’s Zhu Qihui. China won both Boys and Girls U15 Doubles with Zhou/Yu winning Boys and Zhu/Liu winning Girls. Thailand’s only event win came in Mixed Doubles, where Thitaphat Preechayan and Kulapassr Vijitviriyagul defeated the top seeded Chinese squad in the Semifinals before defeating another Chinese squad (Yu/Zhu) 3-2 in the Final. In U15 Girls Teams, Japan topped second seeded China in the Semifinals before taking out top-seeded Korea Republic 3-1 in the Final.
Results for Americans varied, with Nandan Naresh logging the only American win in any of the U19 events (he was 1 of 2, falling in a 4-3 loss to Benyamin Faraji in the Round of 16 of U19 Boys Singles). Abigail Yu won her opening match in U15 Girls Singles before falling to Germany’s Josephina Neumann in the Round of 16. Kef Noorani and Irene Yeoh had a solid run in the U15 Mixed Doubles event, losing 1-3 to a Thai pair in the Quarterfinals.
TeamUSA’s U15 Teams both reached the Quarterfinals. TeamUSA’s U15 Boys Team defeated Germany 3-1 before falling to Korea. TeamUSA U15 Girls won their opening match over host Romania 3-1 and then fell to Team China in the Quarterfinals.
The world will turn its attention back to the pros in 10 days as the next major event is the WTT Finals Hong Kong which starts on December 10.
