Six-time Olympian Jian Fang Lay and Olympic debutante Michelle Bromley will compete in the Women’s Singles, while Chris Yan and David Powell will take the court in the Men’s Singles, as they did in Rio 2016.
On July 25, Melissa Tapper and Heming Hu will be the first Australian table tennis players to compete in the Mixed Doubles event, which makes its debut at the Olympics.
