The WTT Championships are held six times a year, and participation rights are only awarded to the top 32 players in the world rankings in men's and women's singles. It was also the first time that the WTT Championship had been held in Japan. In women's singles, the 16-year-old Japanese table tennis sister Miwa Zhangmoto, ranked No. 6 in the women's singles world, said: "In order to make everyone want to watch it more, I will work hard." ”

Kasumi Ishikawa (32), the former Japanese women's table tennis representative, also attended the press conference and promoted the 2025 WTT Championship Yokohama with a "serious match" with the Zhang siblings. They faced off against the backdrop of the streets of Yokohama on a table tennis table set up outdoors, and in the end Kasumi Ishikawa won. Kasumi Ishikawa called on fans to be there, "Top players from all over the world will come together. There are also autograph sessions and photo sessions, and they are very interactive, so I think it's a very interesting event. ”
