It was the first international sports event hosted in China featuring overseas athletes.The last tournament held before the World Cup was the ITTF World Tour Platinum Qatar Open, which ended on March 8."At first we expected that suspension of table tennis activities would last one or two months. But when it turned to June or July, the pandemic was still not over. We didn't know when it would be either," recalled ITTF CEO Steve Dainton.The Men's Cup and the ITTF Finals will also be held in China later this month, as the ITTF called the series as #RESTART.IANS Weihai (China) For Latest Updates Please-
