On June 19, the five-day China Table Tennis Open came to an end at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. Suffering from the heat, rainstorms and experiencing the dense crowd, the Spring Cocoon has sucessfully passed all the trials and achieved the expected results. The organizer announces: all the preparatory work for the opening ceremony and ten Universiade events have been in place.

From June 15 to June 19, the "Spring Cocoon" successively receives more than 40,000 spectators, the most intensive appearing on June 19, in which has received, according to the incomplete statistics of organizers, more than 10,000 audience for the final. With the satisfactory service of transportation, security and logistics work, the debut of "Spring Cocoon" has left a delightful memory to both contestants and citizens.

During the Universiade, the sports center will hold the preliminary contest and finals of table tennis. Therefore, this Table Tennis Open is a truly great rehearsal for the Universiade team, whose quick organization and operation ability have also been tested.
