Kuman's participation in this Grand Slam as a foreign card starts with the qualification tournament. Don't look at Kuman young, the world ranking is low, the technology is not low. A few days ago at the WTT Oman Challenge, Kuman won the women's singles and women's doubles titles. At last year's World Youth Championships, Kuman won the women's singles title.

In the end, Ku man defeated Feng Tianwei 3-1 to advance to the women's singles round of 32.
Throughout the game, there is not much difference in the techniques of Feng Tianwei and Kuman. Veteran Feng Tianwei's skills are also very skilled. It's just that Ku man is young, and the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, dare to fight, and the momentum is very strong. Although it is easy to make mistakes in this way, it will put a lot of pressure on the opponent.
Whether it is a forehand or a backhand, Feng Tianwei is tired of coping, and naturally cannot exert her own technical level. Ku Man was bold, and he didn't have any ideological baggage, so he gave full play to his own strengths, so he gave full play to his technical level, and finally won Feng Tianwei. Congratulations to Kuman!
In the two youth storms, young national table tennis players Wang Manyu and Ku Man defeated their opponents respectively.
