On April 26, Beijing time, the WTT Thailand Bangkok Star Challenge entered the 5th day of competition, which is also the 3rd day of the main competition, and the singles round of 8 officially began! 9 people in the national table tennis team went all out, including 6 men's singles players ushered in 1 civil war and 4 foreign battles; The women's team faces 3 outsiders, details below.
In this event, National Table Tennis sent 13 players to participate in singles, including 8 men's singles and 5 women's singles, only Wu Yangchen of the National Table Tennis Women's Team lost in the qualifying round, and also lost 0-3 to India's Mukeji in its first match, suffered a round of swimming, and the remaining 12 people of National Table Tennis all advanced to the main event.
In the first round of the main event, 5 players of National Table Tennis appeared, 7 people took a turn, and two more players lost out, and Xue Fei of the men's team lost 1-3 to Japan's Hayasuke Togami; The women's team's Qi Fei lost 0-3 to Japan's 17-year-old chipper Haruka Koshiro, and these two players were both players who advanced from the qualifying round, but they were eliminated in the first round of the main tournament and missed the round of 32 singles, which is indeed a pity!
Came to the second round of the main competition, all 10 people of the national table tennis competed, ushered in 10 foreign battles, and achieved a result of 9 wins and 1 loss, the only game lost was Xiang Peng of the national table tennis men's team, 2-3 defeat to South Korea's Zhao Shengmin, missed the men's singles round of 16, I have to say that the young Xiang Peng really needs to be strengthened in terms of stability in foreign battles! And 18-year-old Lin Shidong, today's momentum has clearly overshadowed Xiang Peng.
So far, the remaining 9 players of National Table Tennis will all play in the singles round of 8 on April 27, and the details are brought below.
