Nina Guo Zheng (FRA) beat Lilou Massart (BEL) 3-2 in the U19 girls teams play-off match Belgium - France. Thus France took a 1-0 lead in the match. Eventually France won 3-0 and went to the eight best.
This match was interesting because Massart was the U15 girls singles champion in 2022. On the other hand, Guo Zheng is only 2010 and turned 14 in June. So she can play in the U15 category still in 2025 but in Malmö she plays team competition in the French U19 girls team. It is understandable as she is number one in the ITTF U15 girls ranking list. But she is also the French U19 girls champion 2024 in addition to being the the U15 girls champion. Last year she won silver medal in the U15 girls singles when she was only 13 years old.
