Today's 12 matches are all national table tennis "civil wars".
Finally, after a day of competition, the top 8 lists of the three projects have been produced. In the mixed doubles, Liang Jingkun/Chen Meng experienced a vicious battle, the first two sets of the two played quite smoothly, with 2 11:7 consecutive wins of 2 sets, but the situation changed sharply.
The two youngsters, Lin Shidong and Wang Tianyi, fought backwaters, and suddenly won two consecutive sets at 11:5 and 11:7, dragging the game to the decider. But in the end, the two main players of the national table tennis were stronger, Liang Jingkun and Chen Meng regained control of the situation, and finally won the last set 11:4 and defeated the opponent 3:2 to advance to the quarterfinals.

On the men's side, this afternoon ushered in a "straight board war", veteran Xu Xin against the mesozoic player Zhao Zihao, in addition to the two are also shanghai team brothers, so the relationship is also close. At the beginning of the game, Xu Xin made more mistakes, so he was always pressed by Zhao Zihao, and finally lost the first set 8:11. However, after adapting to the first set, Xu Xin strengthened his forehand attack and finally won three games in a row of 11:3, 11:8, 11:3 to reverse the master and disciple. It seems that Zhao Zihao still has to learn from His Brother.
