Otherwise, why bother having national teams at all? Why not just have "Planet Earth A" vs "Planet Earth B", all the way down to team Z, with 90% chinese players in there? That might be the purest representation of TT sporting excellence we have, but it's hardly the way national-level sport works.
Well, I have to be honest, I have always wondered why table tennis works this way where the tournaments are about country not about players.
At Wimbledon, in the player matchups, it does not say Spain next to Rapha's name. The players may come from different countries, but, which country they come from is not really a central focus.
Why is it so central in Table Tennis? I really have never understood that. Okay, in team competition, there are teams. This team is from Germany, this one is from Korea. No big deal. But, why is it mentioned in the singles events.
