The table tennis grand slam is still in the singles quarterfinals, and the four main players of the national table tennis are the first to squeeze into the quarterfinals, namely Liang Jingkun, Ma Long, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi. Liang Jingkun met Kazakhstan's Glasmenko, who won 4-0 in the Slovenia regular season last year. Before the match, Liang Jingkun was full of confidence, but in the first set, Glasmenko still sounded the alarm bell for Liang Jingkun, fortunately, Liang Jingkun's strength advantage was obvious, and he dared to shoot at the critical moment, and finally won 3 consecutive sets to reverse the promotion. Liang Jingkun guarded his own community and quietly waited for the opponent of the 1/4 final.
Malone was able to advance to the quarter-finals, but he fought a difficult civil war, narrowly defeating Wang Chuqin 3-2. Before the game, Ma Long knew that this game was not easy to play, after all, Wang Chuqin was in the golden period of his career, and he did not have the upper hand in the previous few encounters. However, from the actual situation of the game, Ma Long's stability did not diminish that year, and the change in the landing point of the first three boards made Wang Chuqin overwhelmed. Especially in the decider, Wang Chuqin was impatient because he was behind by a big score, and Ma Long won the game after being briefly chased by his teammates and continued to advance towards the men's singles champion. The quarter-finals are also difficult for Ma Long, and it is likely to encounter Lin Yunru, the main force of Chinese Taipei.
Chen Meng also suffered a civil war, defeating He Zhuojia 3-0 to advance. Due to the gap in strength, He Zhuojia did not cause much trouble to Chen Meng. Although He Zhuojia had a chance to win the last set, his hard power was slightly insufficient, and he had the upper hand in multi-board stalemate, and he could only regret being out. Chen Meng's next quarter-finals were even more difficult to play against the winner between Yoshizumi Ishikawa and Zheng Yijing. Both opponents are experienced veterans, although not strangers, but the veterans are mature at key moments, and it is not easy for Chen to get tickets to the semi-finals.
Wang Yidi then played in the quarterfinals, swept Mitheim 3-0, and easily advanced to the quarterfinals. In the first two sets, Wang Yidi won 11:5, and the opponent fought back madly in the last round, helplessly lacking strength to beat Wang Yidi, and lost the key points and was defeated. Wang Yidi's real test is also in the quarterfinals, and if Ito plays normally, he will meet Wang Yidi. The two played each other in last year's World Table Tennis Championships, and Wang Yidi won a big victory. Now, after a year, Wang Yidi's encounter with Ito Mimachi can have how to play is worth looking forward to.
There is also a game worth paying attention to in the men's singles field, when Japan's main Utada Yukiya defeated South Korea's big black Ma Lin Jong-hoon 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. With Zhang Benzhihe out, the situation of the Japanese table tennis men's team is worse. Moreover, Lin Zhongxun eliminated Lin Gaoyuan and Zhuang Zhiyuan in the first two rounds, and the pressure faced by Yukiya Utada can be imagined. However, from the actual situation of the game, Utada Yukiya has a strong ability to resist pressure, and competes with Lin Zhongxun on multiple boards, and the forehand can suppress the opponent and finally win the game. Yukiya Utada is expected to be the best player in the Japanese table tennis men's team at the Grand Slam.
