For the first time since 1939, the World Table Tennis Championships is held in Africa. All the leading players, including the reigning champion Fan Zhendong, took the part in this tournament. Danish international Anders Lind became one of the sensations of this tournament, reaching the 1/4 final stage. All the individual accolades, however, were awarded to the Chinese players. Fan Zhendong was able to secure his second consecutive World Championships title. In the final, he confidently won his teammate Wang Chuqin 4-2.
