The WTT English official website provides an interesting interpretation of the signing form: [As an epic showcase event, the draw at WTT Macau has announced several wonderful duels from the beginning. On the first day of the Ta shek Sports Complex, world number one Chen Meng will face Hong Kong compatriot Du Kaixuan. Du shocked the world by beating newly crowned world champion Wang Manyu in the first round of the WTT World Cup finals in Singapore, while Chen will hope to avoid the same fate in Macau. Fans' favorite Liu Shiwen will also face a test as she will face Wang Yidi in the round of 16.
In the men's competition, Ma Long will meet Liang Jingkun and look forward to a wonderful start to 2022.
Both achieved good results last year, with Malone winning his second Olympic men's singles gold medal and Liang winning back-to-back WTT titles in Slovenia. Xu Xin, the "Cloud Walker", will face Zhao Zihao head-to-head, which is a duel between two straight board players.
