China's table tennis stars kicked off the 2026 ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup with a bang in Macao this week, as all seven Chinese players secured victories in Monday's group stage matches. 🌟 World No. 1 Sun Yingsha set the tone with a commanding 11-3, 11-4, 11-9 win against Li Yu-Jhun from the Taiwan region – their first-ever singles showdown.
🔥 The defending champion showcased her signature precision, telling reporters: "Her returns were solid, and the competition was still intense. I had a strong desire to win."
