Response to Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's Withdrawal Announcement

From: World Table Tennis

We deeply respect the contributions of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, two icons who have inspired countless fans and athletes worldwide. To address the concerns raised regarding the 2025 WTT Handbook, we would like to clarify:

1. Rules Are Consistent, Not New

The rules referenced by Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng are not newly introduced. These regulations, which include automatic entry for players ranked in the global standings, have been in place since WTT’s inception four years ago. The intent of these rules is to ensure that top-tier players are represented at key WTT events, preserving the integrity of global competition and delivering the highest quality events for players, fans, and all partners.

2. What Are Automatic Entry Events

Players or pairs gain direct entry into the Main or Qualifying Draw of the WTT Series top-tier events, such as the WTT Grand Smash, WTT Champions and WTT Finals, by virtue of their position in the global standings. This model aligns with established practices in other professional sports.

3. Why Penalties Exist

The penalties for non-participation are designed to support the structure of the WTT calendar, ensuring that fans, organisers, event partners and broadcast partners can rely on the participation of the world’s top players. This is particularly important for marquee events such as the WTT Grand Smashes, WTT Champions and WTT Finals. Penalties for withdrawals, except in cases of verified medical reasons, are also enforced to uphold the competitive balance, ensure consistency and maintain fairness for all participants.

4. Key Changes in the 2025 Handbook

The 2025 WTT Handbook introduces several significant updates, including strategic changes to the event structure, draw sizes, playing systems, and adjustments to fines. Most of these changes were inspired by feedback gathered directly from players and with work together with the ITTF Athletes Commission. Below are some of the most notable regulatory adjustments:

In 2025, WTT will see an overall prize pool increase of 20% and adjustments have been made to the overall distribution to give the final rounds a larger proportion of winnings.

The limitation and corresponding fines for players who withdraw from a WTT event and participate in a non-WTT event during the following event week have been completely removed. The 2025 WTT Handbook does introduce higher fines for players who choose to participate in non-WTT events taking place during WTT events they have withdrawn from. This adjustment reflects the value of top-tier WTT events in the global table tennis ecosystem and reinforces the importance of prioritising these events.

Additionally, for the first time in WTT’s history, a complete WTT calendar has been confirmed and published in advance ahead of 2025. This provides players with greater certainty and allows for more effective planning of their schedules, including league and club commitments.

5. ITTF Table Tennis World Ranking Policies and WTT Policies

ITTF World Ranking policies focus on the technical and unbiased way to rank active table tennis players. Its policies were designed by table tennis experts, led by the experienced ITTF Executive Vice President Mr.Wahid Oshodi, together with the ITTF World Ranking working group. These policies are constantly under review to ensure fairness to our players and system.

The WTT Handbook and competition structure were built and operated by industry-leading senior sports experts and is now to be led by WTT Executive Director of Events Mounir Bessah along with a team of professionals, of whom will always place the benefits of players at the very core.

6. Commitment to Players

WTT remains fully committed to supporting players and fostering a competitive and inclusive environment, led by WTT Head of Player Relations Ms Polona Cehovin. We recognise the immense contributions of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng to the sport and wish them best of luck and will continue to welcome them, as well as all players, to return to WTT events should they wish to in the future.

World Table Tennis will continue its mission to elevate the sport, working collaboratively with athletes, member associations, and partners to ensure the continued growth and success of table tennis globally.
