On March 15, 2022, Beijing time, the Singapore Table Tennis Grand Slam entered the 5th day of the main tournament, and the two national table tennis derby matches attracted attention, namely Ma Long against his brother Wang Chuqin and Chen Meng against Ito Mimako's imitator He Zhuojia. In addition, Fan Zhendong against South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun, Liang Jingkun, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and others will also launch an attack on the singles quarter-finals.
On the 5th matchday of the main tournament, the singles quarterfinals were fully played. In the men's singles arena, Liang Jingkun played against Glasmenko, Fan Zhendong faced South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun, and the focus battle was the derby between Ma Long and Wang Chuqin, no matter who was out, it was a pity. In addition, this matchday also arranged two other men's singles quarter-finals, that is, Carlberg against Qiu Dang and Lim Jong-hoon against Yukiya Utada.
In the women's singles 1/8 final, Wang Yidi played against Germany's Miltheim, Wang Manyu's opponent was Diaz, and the focus battle was the derby between Chen Meng and He Zhuojia, He Zhuojia held a wild card to compete, the performance was quite good, she was also an imitator of Ito Mimachi, which was a relatively big test for Chen Meng. The other two matches were Li Haoqing against Hina Hayata and Yuan Jiannan against Ito Mimako.
In the men's doubles matchday, the final four will be decided, with Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin facing the Singaporean duo fu shaofeng/Zhou Zheyu, the Japanese combination Yukiya Utada/Tokami Hayabusa playing against the Hungarian duo execic/Szudi, the Korean duo Of jang Woo-jin/Lim Jong-hoon facing Zhuang Ji-won/Chen Jian'an, and the other match being Habeson/Gardos vs. Qiu Dang/Duda.
The women's doubles also have to decide the final four, and the specific matches in the quarter-finals are Szokos/Polkanova vs Choi Hyo-joo/Lee Shi-wen, Kamas/Batra vs Hayata Xena/Ito Mimako, Wang Manyu/Sun Yingsha vs Tian Zhixi/Liang Xiayin, Miltham/Winter vs De nut/Ni Xialian.
Mixed doubles will have to play the semi-finals, the focus battle is Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha vs. Huang Zhenting / Du Kaixuan, and the national table tennis combination strives to advance to the final. Another mixed doubles semi-final was played by Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing against Lebison/Yuan Jiannan.
Overall, the two derby battles of the national table tennis are indeed more brutal, because these players are very strong, no matter who is out, it is regrettable, I hope they play the best level and dedicate the most wonderful games. Comparatively speaking, the opponents of Liang Jingkun, Fan Zhendong, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi are not too strong, and normal play should be easy to pass. In the three doubles events, the national table tennis sent a pair of combinations to participate, each game must be played as a final, under a lot of pressure, I wish the national table tennis good luck!
