Ma Long, Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong to play in the 15th National Game

[SFF_lib]

Ma Long will play in the teams event for team Beijing.

Fan Zhendong will play in the singles and teams events. Team Shanghai

Chen Meng will play in the singls and teams events. Team Shandong

Looks like FZD being a Cantonese, is being the face of the National Game being held in Guangzhou, HK and Macau.

What matches do you want to see the most from these legends?

Personally I would love to see:
ML vs WCQ (ML 4-0 in 2024)
LSD vs FZD
SYS vs CM

I thought Ma Long might play singles as well. Good that CTTA are still letting Ma Long play after his new Vice President role.

I thought with the German TTBL FZD not allow to play any other events. Are National Games clashing with his matches in the TTBL.

I was uncertain if Chen Meng was playing. Recently it seems she was doing reality TV with her mum and coaching kids.

Can FZD really speak Cantonese. I thought his parents come from a different part of China but move to Guangzhou before he was born so his parents may not be able to speak Cantonese at all. He probably doesn’t speak it due to being away from home all these years. Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao are also from the Guangdong region and uncertain if they can speak Cantonese as well.

FZD can indeed speak Cantonese from what I have been told.
