Today, March 17, singapore grand slam tournament enters the seventh day of the main tournament. Today will be a quarter-final of the men's and women's singles. With Xu Xin's 2-3 defeat to Germany's Francesca last night, the men's and women's quarterfinals were all released, namely Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Sweden's Carlsson, Germany's Qiu Dang and Francesca, Japan's Yukiya Utada and Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru. The women's singles quarterfinals are Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Japan's Ishikawa Yoshinori and Hayata Xena, as well as Chinese French player Yuan Jiannan and Austria's tall beauty Polkanova.
Today CCTV5 continues to broadcast live in two sessions at 14:00 and 19:00 respectively, with the schedule and matchups as follows:
14:00 Wang Yidi vs Yuan Jiannan (France)
14:40 Gu-ngang (Tokukoku) VS Uda Koya (Japan)

16:00 Chen Meng vs Yoshinori Ishikawa (Japan)

19:40 Malone vs Lin Yunru (Chinese Taipei)
20:20 Fan Zhendong vs Francesca (Germany)
21:00 Wang Manyu vs Polkanova (Austria)
It is not difficult to see from the above that there are two Sino-Japanese battles that are highly anticipated, that is, the matches of Chen Meng and Ishikawa Yoshijun and the matches of Sun Yingsha and Hayata Xina. Chen Meng and Ishikawa Jiajun have a great advantage in the record of playing, but they lost to Ishikawa Jiachun at the 2019 Australian Open, and if they play normally, winning the game is not a problem.
On the contrary, Sun Yingsha's opponent Hayata Xena has improved faster, and some time ago Hayata Hina also won the women's singles championship in the round of 32 in Japan, so she is actually slowly replacing Ito as Japan's new sister. Moreover, Hayata Hina also has an advantage in height, a large area of protective platform, and solid basic skills, and Sasha should be well prepared.
Men's singles editor Xinxi 6 feels that the competition between Ma Long and Fan Zhendong will be more intense. Ma Long's opponent is Lin Yunru of Chinese Taipei, who has also improved rapidly in recent years, finishing fourth at the Tokyo Olympics. He is in good shape in this Grand Slam tournament, yesterday 3-0 eliminated the European men's singles champion Dako, and Lin Yunru won ma long in the 2019 T2 league and world cup matches, and the record record with Ma Long was equally divided, so this game should be very intense.
In addition, Fan Zhendong's opponent is the German player Francesca, Francesca only eliminated Xu Xin yesterday, the high horse and big technology is also good, and the little fat Fan Zhendong is estimated to have to be well prepared.
Other matches, such as Wang Manyu against Polkanova, Wang Yidi against Yuan Jiannan, Liang Jingkun against Carlson, if there is no accident, will successfully advance to the final four, what do you think?
