Career Pedigree

Who Zhou Yu Is

A seasoned left-handed powerhouse with an elite record at world and national championship levels.

Zhou Yu (周雨) was born on 19 May 1992 in Siyang County, Jiangsu, China, playing left-handed shakehand at 1.77m. Demonstrating prodigal talent from childhood, he earned selection to China’s national second team in 2007 before breaking through to national prominence.

In 2012, at age 20, Zhou Yu won the prestigious Chinese National Table Tennis Championships men’s singles title — one of the most fiercely contested domestic competitions in world sports. He went on to earn World Championships men’s doubles medals in both 2013 and 2015, and claimed men’s team gold at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
