[1][3] Controversy ensued in China when Guo Yue was kicked out of the National Table Tennis Team in 2015 for "poor behaviour" and lack of interest.

Guo experienced series of losses in international games which led to her disappearance from the public eye for almost half a year.

Guo Yue won the 2007 World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, by defeating her compatriot Li Xiaoxia in the women's singles final.

Rumours were rife in 2010 when Guo Yue was cited for "poor behaviour" and lack of interest in playing table tennis.

An incident, cited on Chinese forum Tianya, stated that she was once tasked to attend a meeting and failed to do so, hence causing friction with China's top player Wang Nan.
