On January 19, Beijing time, the WTT Macau Championship China Star competition continued. In the men's singles quarterfinals, lin gaoyuan, the world's no. 7 national table tennis player, ushered in the challenge of the world's No. 87 Hong Kong player Lin Zhaoheng.

Fortunately, Lin Gaoyuan withstood the pressure and finally after 4 rounds of competition, the Dark Knight "Lin Sister" Lin Gaoyuan won the opponent 3-1 to advance to the top 8.
Lin Gaoyuan, as a strong player in national table tennis, lost 1-4 to Fan Zhendong at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships last year, and lost to Calderano 0-3 in the WTT World Cup final, and ultimately missed the championship. I hope he can continue to work hard to go further in this year's WTT Macau Champions China Star competition.
