In the third set, Carnak still continued to improve the quality of the single board, Zhang Benzhi and COSCO did not have an advantage, both sides scored 6 points each, Zhang Benzhihe scored 2 points to lead 8-6, Kanak chased to 8 draws, zhang Benzhihe was too anxious at the critical moment, but there was a senseless mistake, his mentality was still not OK, Kanak 10-8 got the set point, and then won another set at 11-9, Zhang Benzhi and once again dropped the chain.
In the fourth set, Kanak scored 3 points in a row, Zhang Benzhihe's father served as an off-court coach, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly called him a timeout, but this suspension had no effect, it was not a technical and tactical problem at all, Zhang Benzhihe's mentality completely collapsed, Kanak took advantage of the situation to chase, blasted out 11-3 to lock in the victory, and finally reversed Zhang Benzhihe 3-1, advancing to the men's singles round of 32, and the fourth seed Zhang Benzhi and the first round of the upset out.
