The men's singles players were defeated en masse early in the tournament, leaving only Mimato Ito in the women's singles, who showed tenacious willpower by narrowly winning 3-2 in a vicious match. However, it seems more difficult to predict whether or not to win the title as other Japanese teammates wait for their moment.
Interestingly, in this event, all the national table tennis players gave up the competition, so that the foreign cooperation players had a chance to show their skills. This sparked a fierce competition between outsourced players, and as a result, the world champions were out of the competition early on, and unexpected upsets were frequent.

This match was not only tense for big scores, but also for small scores, and the instability of Mimato Ito's condition also caused concern. Players such as Mikazu Changmoto and Miyu Kihara advanced 3-0 and showed strong strength.
Reaching the quarterfinals of the women's singles, Ito will face Miyu Kihara, Miwa Chang will face Parvad, and Miyu Nagasaki will face South Korea's Shin Yubin. At the same time, the men's singles competition was equally fierce, and the defeats of experts such as Aruna and Ahn Jae-hyun made the trend of the match even more confusing.
