Qian Tianyi met with a sister of India, Batra, Batra's long glue playing style is very threatening, and the high and high horse is conducive to the defense of the guard platform, rich experience in international competitions, Qian Tianyi needs to adapt to the opponent's playing style as soon as possible to prevent upset. Zhang Rui met With Portugal's Shao Jieni, the Portuguese women's team mainly relies on two Chinese veterans to play, Shao Jieni's performance is not as good as Fu Yu.
Ziffy and Germany's Sabine Winter, Sabine was listed as the number one seed in women's doubles, and her partner was teammate Mittham, but the two were difficult to defeat The Asian combination of Nagasaki Miyu / Kihara Miyu, Liang Xiayin / Tian Zhixi in the women's doubles, and the strength of Sabine in the singles field was not outstanding enough, but because the German team had a straight player Shan Xiaona, Sabine was very familiar with the characteristics of the straight board in the usual training, and Zifi also had to be prepared for difficulties. Liu Weishan and Nagasaki Yuzu appeared in the evening finale, although Nagasaki Miyu is more famous, but has been eliminated by the national table tennis in the past 2 consecutive matches, hoping that this time Liu Weishan sent Nagasaki Yuzu 3 consecutive defeats.
Zhou Qihao, who has scored several weeks of discounts, played against Portugal's second main force Apollonia in the first round, and the Portuguese veteran has deteriorated in recent years, and has never defeated the main player in the national table tennis match. Liu Dingshuo met Romania's Jonescu, can get the national games men's singles runner-up, proving that Liu Dingshuo's comprehensive strength does not lose the main force, but need to participate in more international competitions to improve the adjustment ability of the field, the opponent of the first round is the world table tennis men's doubles runner-up, Ionescu and Robles, Szokos in the men's doubles and mixed doubles cooperation is more tacit, often break into the major competitions 8 or even 4 strong, but the singles strength is average. Although Zhao Zihao won the Doha regional championship, but at that time, because the opponent's general strength was not strong, this stand up encountered South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun, the opponent reached the round of 16 in the Grand Slam, and also fought with Fan Zhendong for 5 rounds, with strong combat effectiveness, Zhao Zihao needed to take out all his belongings and opponents to fight to have a chance to win.
