The Wuxi men's table tennis team traveled to Sichuan and beat the home side 3-1 in the China Table Tennis Super League to escape from the relegation zone.

Olympic doubles champion Chen Qi, who was playing for Wuxi, lost to South Korean player Joo Se Hyuk 2-3 in the first singles match.

However, he managed to make up for it by winning the doubles with his partner Zhan Jian.

Shan Mingjie helped Wuxi to the victory by winning two singles matches over Wang Jianjun and Hong Kong player Zhang Yu.

In another game, defending champion Shaanxi outplayed the runners-up of last season, Shandong, 3-1 to snap their losing streak.
