Retired table tennis legend Zhang Jike has been making waves with his statement regarding a potential showdown with the current no. 2 in the world rankings Wang Manyu. When asked if he would consider playing against the female powerhouse, Zhang didn’t hesitate to express his willingness. The former World Champion said he would be more than happy to take on Wang and that he could play against her at any time—provided he had just a little time for preparation.

According to Zhang, the ball is in Wang’s court, as she needs to fit the match into her schedule. With her intense training regime and busy competition calendar, it's not surprising that time management is a critical factor in her availability. Zhang, on the other hand, seems confident that a brief period of preparation would be enough to get him back into form for the match.

So, who would win in a match between Zhang Jike and Wang Manyu?
