Ever since WTTC 1993 implemented the New Swaythling Cup System (bo5, 5 singles), there have been 4 players ONLY (3 men and 1 woman) who got 2 points off of China in the team event:
WTTC 1995 MT F Jan-Ove Waldner (29.6 years old)
WTTC 2000 MT F Jorgen Persson (33.8 years old)
WTTC 2010 WT F Feng Tianwei (23.7 years old)
WTTC 2022 MT SF Harimoto Tomokazu (19.3 years old)
Disregarding the match format, Harimoto at WTTC 2022 was still 4.2 years younger than Waldner back at WTTC 1989. Note also that in WTTC 1995 and WTTC 2022, both players were playing when their team was behind in match score (0-1 and 1-2). That's yet another reason why I do not consider ML as the greatest of all time.
