Zeng Jian (Chinese: 曾尖, born 19 November 1996) is a Singaporean table tennis player. She won three Under-21 singles titles at the 2016 ITTF World Tour.[3]
Career
In late 2014, Zeng registered with the Singapore Table Tennis Association with hopes to acquire Singaporean nationality and play for the Singapore national team.[4][3] She acquired Singaporean nationality in November 2019.[5]
2022
Zeng took part in the 2022 Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham. She won two golds in the women's team and doubles events. In the singles event, she was leading 3 sets and eventually losing to compatriot Feng Tianwei 3-4 in all-Singapore final to claim the silver. [6] She partnered Feng Tianwei to defeat the Australian duo Jee Minhyung and Jian Fang Lay 3-0 in the finals.[7]
At the 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships at Chengdu, she led the team of Zhou Jingyi, Wong Xinru, Goi Rui Xuan and Zhang Wanling to top Group 4 by defeating Iran, Luxembourg & South Korea. [8] The team qualifies to the knock-out rounds and won Czech Republic 3-1 in the Round of 16 to progress to the Quarter-Final to face 7th seed, Chinese Taipei. [9] Zeng secured two points by defeating world no. 35 Cheng I-ching and world no. 22 Chen Szu-yu but was not enough for the win as the team fell to Chinese Taipei 2-3. Throughout this tournament, she notched an impressive streak of eight wins in seven days [10]
