The 2023 WTT Xinxiang Championship, which ended on April 15, has not disappeared, and the 2023 WTT Macau Championship will follow on April 17.
The 2023 WTT Macau Championship will start on April 17 for a week and end on April 23.
The Macau Championship and the Xinxiang Championship are the same size tournaments, both of which only play the men's and women's singles round of 32, all matches are played on the same table, and the champion will also receive 1,000 points.
Compared with the Xinxiang Championship, the players participating in this Macao Championship have not changed much.
Men's singles: Hayasuke Togami, Ochalov, Glassmenko and other 3 people, replacing Felix Lebrun, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Ruven Filus.
Women's singles: Qian Tianyi replaces Ni Xialian.
The national table tennis men's singles is still 5 people including Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Shidong, etc.; The national table tennis women's singles has 6 people such as Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi participated.
On the afternoon of April 15, the results of the lottery were announced
Men's singles: Top seed Fan Zhendong in Zone 1/4.
The top 10 players in the region are also Lin Yunru and Moregade. Moregaard lost 3-1 to Alex Lebrun in the second round of the Xinxiang Championships, but less than a week later, the two will meet again in the first round of the Macau Championships.
Malone is in Zone 2/4. Malone faced Aruna in the first round.
Lin Zhongxun, who reached the last four in the Xinxiang Championship, is also in the same area as German veteran Ochalov and Brazil's Hugo Calderano.
Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong are in District 3/4. Dakko and Chang are also in the district.
The main highlights of the first round of the district: Lin Shidong and Zhang Benzhi meet in the first round.
As a young and famous Chang Motochikazu, he is only 19 years old this year, and he will slowly accept the challenge from younger players than him. And Lin Shidong, as the hope star of national table tennis, "squeezed out" Lin Gaoyuan, who ranked higher than him, in two consecutive WTT championships, can be seen that he has gradually become the "fifth person" of national table tennis men's singles, which shows the degree of attention.
Wang Chuqin is in the 4/4 zone as the second seed.
Germany's Qiu Dang, along with three Swedish players Kalberg, K. Carlsen and Falk, are in the zone.
Women's singles: Top seed Sun Yingsha is located in the 1/4 zone, and another national table tennis player Chen Xingtong is also in the area.
Three Chinese players Han Ying, Yuan Jianan and Fu Yu who are wandering in Europe are also in the 1/4 area.
Chen Meng is located in District 2/4. Her main competitor is the same as the Shingo Championship, and if she can make the cut, Chen Meng will most likely meet Yoshijun Ishikawa in the second round and Hina Hayata in the third round.
Wang Yidi is located in District 3/4, where her main opponent is Mimato Ito.
Qian Tianyi and Wang Manyu belong to the same 4/4 district. Qian Tianyi's opponent in the first round was Miyu Kihara, who was sent by Chen Xingtong to the Xinxiang Championship for a "round trip", but he did not expect to meet the national table tennis player in the first round of the Macau Championship, and his luck was a little back.
Moroccan Chinese player Yang Xiaoxin is also a very competitive player in the region.
At the WTT Macau Championships in October last year, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha won the men's and women's singles titles respectively, can they win this year?
On April 17, the first matchday of the Macau Championship, there will be seven matches of men's and women's singles 1/16 finals.
