'Why are none of the titles showing in JTable?

I added some rows to a DefaultTableModel, but none of them was shown. My question is - what is the problem? It seems to me like Intellij idea just playing a joke on me.

public class Main extends JFrame {

public Main(){
    this.setLayout(null);
    JTable table = new JTable();
    table.setBounds(20,100,330,300);
    table.setBackground(Color.pink);
    DefaultTableModel dtm = (DefaultTableModel) table.getModel();
    dtm.addRow(new Object[]{"player1", "player2"});
    dtm.addRow(new Object[]{"player"});
    dtm.addRow(new Object[]{"player"});
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    add(table);
    this.setBounds(100,100,500,500);
    this.setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    EventQueue.invokeLater(Main::new);
}
}
