The 2025 World Table Tennis Championships was held in Qatar from 17 to 25 May, 2025. The reigning World champion Fan Zhendong did not defend his title due to retirement. This paved a way to the gold medal for another Chinese international – Wang Chuqin, who beat the Brazilian star Hugo Calderano in the final with a score 4-1. Liang Jingkun won the bronze medal and became the eighth player in table tennis history to win a medal in the singles event in four consecutive World Championships.
