Chinese paddlers took home four titles out of five at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Feeder in Panagyurishte, Bulgaria on Sunday.

The all-time leading Chinese team dispatched a second-string contingent to the tournament, as most of its star paddlers including Olympic champions Ma Long and Chen Meng are preparing for the upcoming Chengdu 2022 World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals in Chengdu, China.

However, China was still too strong for most other participants in Bulgaria, and had effectively secured the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles titles after the semifinal stage.

Zhou Qihao was crowned in the men's singles after overcoming teammate Zhou Kai 4-2.

Xu Haidong and Wu Yangchen edged Liang Yanning and Leng Yutong after full games in the mixed doubles final. 

Xu later added another title to his Bulgaria campaign in the men's doubles, as he paired with Cao Wei to get past Zhou Kai and Ren Hao 3-1.

After seeing off compatriot Qian Tianyi 4-0 to reach the women's singles final, Chen Xingtong swept Adina Diaconu of Romania by the same scoreline.

The only non-Chinese title was won by French duo Prithika Pavade and Camille Lutz in the women's doubles, after they beat Zeng Jian and Zhou Jingyi of Singapore 3-1 in the final.

China will now compete at the WTT Contender Muscat to be held between Monday and Saturday in Oman.
