It is worth mentioning that among the above-mentioned men's singles top 16 players, France's 16-year-old straight board talent Felix is the only player to qualify for the qualifying round, defeating his teammate Simon Goetz 3-1 in the first round of the main draw; After sweeping the men's singles No. 8 seed and Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru 3-0 in the second match, counting the three matches won in the qualifying round, he has won five consecutive matches so far, and the young Felix has shown a very strong competitive form.

And you must know that in the last tournament Star Challenge Goa, Felix, who also started from the qualifying round, won 6 consecutive games and strongly reached the semifinals, only to be eliminated by Lin Shidong, who was in hot form at the time, in the semifinals. Now coming to the Grand Slam, Felix has broken into the round of 16, and has a highlight performance in two consecutive tournaments, which is enough to prove that the 16-year-old has certain strength and is worthy of the attention of the national table tennis coaching staff.

In summary, it is not difficult to see that the only two remaining players in the Korean team were unlucky and encountered the men's singles and the second seed of the tournament, so the national table tennis team is likely to destroy the Korean team; The big-headed king Chuqin is relatively relaxed, playing against the 16-year-old young player Guo Yong, the host of the big dark horse, and it is not too difficult for the big head to advance.
