Outer Association Player Men's Singles
Three French players played in the men's singles 1/16 final, and only the youngest Alex Lebrun advanced to the round of 16, and he beat Lin Yunru (6, 7, 6) 3-0. Lin Yunru recently lost to Lin Shidong, Alex and other post-05 youngsters, and the pressure is not small.
Alex Lebrun lost 3-2 to Aruna "Africa's brother", with five sets scored: 11-8, 8-11, 5-11, 11-7, 7-11.
And the most depressed loss was Akuzu, who faced Zhang Benzhihe, two 11-8, the big score 2-0 lead; Unfortunately, when Zhang Benzhihe came back to his senses, 11-3, 11-5, 11-3, three consecutive games, Akuzu was helpless. Zhang Benzhihe took every step to challenge a lot, playing five games in two consecutive matches.
Chuang Ji-won and Lee Sang-so, who also played five sets, Lee Sang-so started the tiebreaker 5-1 perfectly, laughed until the end, and finally won the last set 11-5.
Hugo, Dako and Chiu Dang all defeated their opponents to advance to the round of 16.
Outer association player women's singles
Sutasini knocked out Hina Hayata 3-2 in five sets: 11-8, 11-6, 4-11, 7-11, 11-4. The seeded player did not start well with a slow heat, trailing 2-0 and accidentally upset.
To Kai-suo was swept by South Korean qualifier Zhu Qianxi. Du Kaixuan does not know what happened in recent months, the competitiveness has dropped too much, anyone can lose, and I am afraid that the top ten position will not be retained soon.
Mitlam, Ishikawa Yoshijun, Yang Xiaoxin and Diaz all successfully defeated their opponents to advance to the round of 16 of the women's singles.
Doubles aspect of foreign associations
The men's doubles were in a tough match, with three of the four matches reaching the tiebreaker.

20:45 Wang Chuqin VS Guo Yong
21:20 Fan Zhendong/Wang Manyu VS Tomokazu Zhang/Hina Hayada
Hirano Miyu accidentally broke through Wang Yidi, morale is strong, can Zhang Rui take back a city?
Qian Tianyi just defeated Ito Mimako, and Yuan Jianan also won Ito Mimako, and also defeated Fan Siqi in the last round, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun are really "not wronged families do not get together", and they can be encountered wherever they go. In the previous Goa Star Challenge, Liang Jingkun won Lin Gaoyuan, can Lin Gaoyuan get back this time?
Lin Zhongxun is difficult to entangle, many national table tennis main players have planted in his hands, if Fan Zhendong is still as slow as the previous round, I am afraid that he will also encounter certain challenges.
Chen Xingtong won Han Ying, which is not a big problem.
Guo Yong defeated Falk 3-2 in the last round and staged a miracle, can the miracle continue when he meets Wang Chuqin in this round?
Reaching the 1/8 finals, every game is a strong confrontation and it is worth paying attention to.
Of course, both mixed doubles semifinals will be challenging, especially Fan Zhendong/Wang Manyu, the two have not been very smooth together, unable to give full play to the strength of the two's singles. Tomokazu Chang / Hina Hayata is a combination specially trained by Nippon for the Paris Olympics, which has been tested for a long time and is difficult to deal with.
It is expected that the two pairs of national table tennis mixed doubles combination can meet in the final.
