Fan Zhendong (Chinese: 樊振东; born 22 January 1997) is a Chinese table tennis player. He is ranked number 2 in the official ITTF world rankings as of January 2017.
Fan is a Stiga sponsored athlete. He uses a Stiga infinity vps v (with diamond touch) , with black DHS Hurricane 3 neo National Blue Sponge for forehand and red Calibra tour M for backhand.
A right-handed shakehand-grip player, Fan plays an attacking style of table tennis using his explosive footwork and thunderous forehand loops to finish off his opponents. Emerging as a 16-year-old wonderkid, Fan's playing style is often compared to his senior compatriot Ma Long. In addition to being trained by national team coaches, he has been specially trained by both Wang Hao and Ma Lin. His encounters against senior players in the Chinese national team drew much speculation and anticipation. His fearlessness and technique allow him to challenge highly rated, experienced players, sometimes even beating top players in thrilling style.
