In the men's singles final, Wang Yidi defeated Liu Weishan 4-1 to win the women's singles title, and Liang Jingkun won cleanly, he was 4:0 Glasmenko (11-8 11-7 11-5 11-4) won the men's singles title, plus the men's doubles championship of Lin Gaoyuan Zhou Qihao and the mixed doubles championship of Wang Chuqin Wang Yidi, and the national table tennis achieved a good result of four golds. But the national table tennis players did not have time to rest, because there was still a second leg to play today.
From November 11 to 14, the second tournament will continue to be held in Laško, Slovenia, due to the addition of the 2019 World Championship runner-up Fark and French star Simon Gauts and The Chinese Taipei team Zhuang Zhiyuan, the Chinese team's championship situation is a bit grim, let's look at the divisional alignment of the seeded players:
Upper half: Lin Gaoyuan, Galdos, Liang Jingkun, Simon Gautz
Lower half: Zhuang Zhiyuan Wang Chuqin, Dako-Jochik Falke
Today's qualifiers began, Zhou Qihao and Liu Dingshuo may meet in the second round, from the signing position, only one of the two can advance to the main tournament, and it remains to be seen who will advance after the three rounds of qualifying.
In terms of women's singles seeded players, Grandma Ni Xialian and Wang Yidi, who represented Luxembourg, were in the upper half, and Shan Xiaona, who represented the German team, was divided into the lower half, as follows:
Upper half: Wang Yidi, Ni Xialian, Erland, Suthasini
Lower half: Shan Xiaona, Miltheim, Matrova, Polkanova
It should be noted that due to Liu Weishan's low ranking, she needs to play a qualifier, but she has a bye in the first round, and from the second round, it is estimated that it is still not a big problem to advance to the main tournament.
In the last game, Zhou Qihao and Lin Gaoyuan left regrets in singles and were eliminated prematurely. Although Liu Dingshuo defeated Wang Chuqin in the civil war and reached the semi-finals, he finally lost to Glasmenko, hoping that this time they can improve, especially Zhou Qihao, the veteran of national table tennis Ma Long withdrew from the World Championships, the opportunity was left to the young people, hoping that Xiao Zhou students could play their own style. Do you think the Chinese team can win this competition?
