World champion Wang Chuqin faced the world table tennis championships men's singles runner-up Fark, Liang Jingkun dueled against Simon Gaotz, who had eliminated Xu Xin in the world table tennis championships, while veteran Liu Shiwen was with South Korea's "female table tennis sister" Tian Zhixi, and the young general Ku man against the world champion Feng Tianwei, the suspense of victory and defeat in these games is still very large, and it is not impossible for the national table tennis players to eat the defeat without paying attention. In addition, the "Grand Slam" champion Malone's match against Freitas and Lin Shidong against Dior was not easy, but fortunately, the national table tennis players did not have doubles to participate in the first day of the competition, and the first round of the two pairs of doubles combinations was a bye, which allowed them to focus on singles matches.
The schedule for the national table tennis players in the first round of the women's singles competition on March 11 is as follows:

On the first match day, the national table tennis women's team had a total of four people competing in the first round of the women's singles competition, the world's number one Sun Yingsha first round opponent is Winter, Sun Yingsha performed well in a series of international competitions last year, reaching the final of four major competitions and winning a championship, but in January, the Macau Championship lost to Liu Shiwen, how Sun Yingsha's current state is unknown, but due to the relatively limited strength of the opponent Winter, Sun Yingsha's first round of victory is not a big problem. Ranked fourth in the world, wang Manyu won the world table tennis championship women's singles championship last year, the first round of the competition opponent is Chinese Taipei's Liu Xinyin, because the world ranking is not dominant, Wang Manyu wants to successfully defend the women's singles champion at this year's Hangzhou Asian Games, she must win the championship in this Singapore Grand Slam to have the opportunity to participate in the Asian Games, Liu Xinyin is a player in Chinese Taipei, the comprehensive strength is definitely not to go to Wang Manyu, as long as it does not play abnormally, Wang Manyu has no problem winning the pass.
The first round of the competition between Ku man and Liu Shiwen has encountered no small challenges, the opponent of the first round of the young general Ku Man is the world champion Feng Tianwei, which is a big challenge for Ku Man, Feng Tianwei is not only an experienced veteran, and this game she is the home battle, with the advantages of time, location, people, as the first time to participate in the international competition, whether Ku Man can play its own strength is still unknown. Kuman is currently in good shape, just won the Oman Challenge women's doubles and women's singles two championships last week, Kuman and Feng Tianwei's game suspense is relatively large, if you can play your due level, Kuman still has a certain advantage, after all, Feng Tianwei is old, and Kuman's morale is booming recently. Veteran Liu Shiwen's opponent is the Korean Chinese famous Tian Zhixi, Tian Zhixi has the reputation of South Korea's "female table tennis sister", she has a considerable strength, veteran Liu Shiwen's current state is not clear, the Macao Championship at the beginning of the year, Liu Shiwen reached the final, if you can continue the state at the beginning of the year, Liu Shiwen's odds of winning are still greater, otherwise Liu Shiwen will probably be less fierce against Tian Zhixi.
The schedule for the national table tennis players in the first round of the men's singles match on March 11 is as follows:
13:30 Lin Shidong vs Dior (Senegal)
16:00 Wang Chuqin vs Falke (Sweden)
19:40 Liang Jingkun vs Simon Gautz (France)
21:00 Malone vs Freitas (Portugal)
On the first day of the competition, there were four people in the national table tennis men's singles, 16-year-old Lin Shidong took the lead in the game, Lin Shidong was valued by Liu Guoliang in this competition, he not only qualified for the competition, but also passed the main competition, Lin Shidong needed to use outstanding performance to repay the trust of the national table tennis coaching team. In the first round of the competition, Lin Shidong's opponent is the African famous Dior, Dior won the first set in the Oman Challenge against Zhou Qihao, which shows that he is not an idle person, Lin Shidong needs to be prepared for difficulties, if the normal play, Lin Shidong's chances of winning are still very large. World champion Wang Chuqin against the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships men's singles runner-up Falke, which should be the closest to the strength of the men's singles first round of competition, Wang Chuqin stopped in the quarterfinals of the Oman Challenge, indicating that his state has not yet adjusted to the best, and in the match with Falke, Wang Chuqin must get a better performance. Falke's overall performance in the past two years after winning the men's singles runner-up of the World Table Tennis Championships is not good, he has few bright results, which is good news for Wang Chuqin, but after all, the opponent has won the runner-up of the World Table Tennis Championships, with considerable strength, Wang Chuqin must be prepared for difficulties.
Liang Jingkun's opponents in the first round of the tournament are not weak, Simon Goetz has reached the final four of the Open Tournament many times, he once eliminated xu Xin, who won the championship in the table tennis tournament in his previous three years, Liang Jingkun can not be taken lightly. Liang Jingkun has just won the men's singles gold medal in the Oman Challenge, at present Liang Jingkun gives people a very solid feeling, he rarely plants a fight on opponents weaker than himself, although Simon Goutz is not weak, but on the whole, Liang Jingkun has a certain advantage, and the probability of Liang Jingkun winning is slightly greater. The real "Grand Slam" champion Malone's first-round opponent is Freitas, after winning the Tokyo Olympics, Malone has fewer opportunities to participate, so how his state recovers needs to be further observed, but the first round of the competition against Portugal's Freitas, Malone is not very difficult to win. Overall, on the first day of the Singapore Grand Slam men's and women's singles matches, the challenges faced by national table tennis players are still very large.
