Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)
In 2024, Zhang joined Major League Table Tennis (MLTT), the first professional table tennis league in the United States, as a member of the Chicago Wind franchise.
Season 2 (2024–2025): Female MVP
During her debut season, Zhang led the Chicago Wind to a second-place finish in the East Division with an 11–7 record. She established herself as the league's most consistent female singles presence, finishing the regular season with a 25–20 singles record and a 50.5% point-win rate in the "Golden Game"—MLTT’s signature team race-to-21 format. For her performance, she was named the MLTT Season 2 Female MVP. Under her leadership, the Wind reached the league's first-ever Championship Weekend, ultimately finishing fourth overall in the postseason.
Season 3 (2025–2026)
Following the league's expansion to ten teams, Zhang remained with the Chicago Wind as they realigned to the West Division for the 2025–26 season. As of March 2026, the Wind held a 12–6 record, with Zhang maintaining her status as one of the league's top-rated female players. Her tactical use of short-pips, described by league analysts as "chaos and control," continued to make her one of the most difficult opponents in the league.
