Coupled with the blessing of some dribble, Ocharov widened the gap and exceeded the score again at 11-5.
In the fourth game, Zhang Benzhi fought with his back and scored 3 points in a row to take the lead at the beginning. Next, Tomokazu maintained his grip and extended his lead further. Soon, Zhang Benzhihe won 11-4 and tied the score at 2.

In the match that ended earlier, Liang Jingkun, who led the national table tennis team, played well, and he defeated Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru 3-1 in four games in the encounter. World No. 1 Fan Zhendong almost got upset, and he fought hard with Joczyk in five games to win 3-2. The first player to go out of the national table tennis was Lin Shidong, a post-05 teenager, who stubbornly dragged Qiu Dang into the decisive game after falling behind 0-2, but he still lost 2-3 and suffered a round of tours, and missed the opportunity to stage a national table tennis civil war with Liang Jingkun. The other off-the-field clash between African brother Aruna and Brazil's Hugo played out a comeback from 2-0 down to meet Fan Zhendong in the quarterfinals.
