The Busan World Table Tennis Championships ended the first day of competition, and the Chinese women's table tennis team relied on the 2 points scored by Wang Manyu to defeat the Indian team 3-2. The men's table tennis team got off to a good start with an easy 3-0 win over Belgium in the evening match. Let's take a look at today's match report.
Men's Team Competition:
China 3-0 Belgium
Fan Zhendong relied on his sharp first-board skills to easily defeat Belgium's Cedric, with the scores of 11-5, 11-6, 11-6 in the three games. In this match, Fan Zhendong showed the level of the world No. 1 and entered the game quickly, without giving his opponent any chance. Fan Zhendong scored the first point and laid a solid foundation for his teammates in the next game.
Wang Chuqin 3-0 Adrian
Facing Belgium's potential rising star Adrian, Wang Chuqin played somewhat tightly, and his concentration on the game was not enough. In the first two games, Wang Chuqin was only stronger than his opponent in the handling of key balls at the last moment, and finally defeated Adrian 11-8, 13-11 It was indeed a bit of a fluke. It was only in the third game that Wang Chuqin showed his true strength and easily defeated his opponent 11-4.
Malone 3-1 Allegro
Whether in good times or bad, watching Malone play is always reassuring to fans, and against Belgium's strongest Allegro, Malone fought hard for four games to win, 11-4, 11-7, 10-12, 11-7. Malone only encountered stubborn resistance from his opponent in the third game, and it was also clear from the match that Allegro was significantly stronger than the first two players, but it was still difficult to defeat Ma Long.
South Korea 3-1 Poland
Jang Yuzhen 3-2 Kubik
Playing on home soil, South Korea still have some advantage, but they clearly had some trouble in their opening game. Zhang Yuzhen, who took the lead, won three games in a row after losing two games first, and it was really not easy to win. The scores were 11-13, 8-11, 11-8, 11-7, 11-6.
Lim Joong-hoon 3-1 Milosh
Lin Zhongxun still played very difficult in this game, and both of them played to the end in the first three games, but in the handling of key balls, Lin Zhongxun was obviously better. The scores were 12-10, 11-9, 10-12, 4-11.
Ahn Jae-hyun 1-3 Dias
South Korea's third singles team was obviously a little weak, and they quickly lost to Poland's Dias. The scores were 8-11, 10-12, 11-7, 9-11.
Jang Woo-jin 3-0 Milosh
As the No. 1 singles player of the South Korean team, Jang Woo-jin obviously bears more responsibility, after all, it is a local competition, and getting off to a good start is a must. Zhang Yuzhen also didn't give her opponent too many chances, and won 3-0 cleanly, with the scores of 11-8, 11-3, 14-12 in three games.

Women's Team Competition:
China 3-2 India
Sun Yingsha 1-3 Mukherjee
Before the game, perhaps all the spectators did not expect the Chinese team to win the game with such an embarrassing performance, which has something to do with their lack of preparation before the game. Sun Yingsha's loss to an unknown player in the first game was a big surprise, especially in the key ball, she didn't win a single one. The scores were 10-12, 11-2, 11-13, 6-11 in the four games.
Wang Manyu 3-1 Batra
Even if Sun Yingsha lost the first point, Wang Manyu still had a stable performance, but she was not satisfactory in the handling of key balls. In any case, Wang Manyu still won the game, otherwise the Chinese team is likely to suffer a black start. The scores were 11-3, 11-8, 13-15, 11-7.
Wang Yidi 0-3 Akula
Wang Yidi's debut was shaved and lost three games in a row, which is probably one of the few in the history of the women's team participating in the World Table Tennis Championships. Wang Yidi was indeed a little worse in the foreign war, and he didn't want to say anything, and the scores in the three games were 7-11, 9-11, 11-13.
Sun Yingsha 3-1 Batra
Sun Yingsha, who made her second appearance, completed the redemption and did not let the opponent continue to upset, but the lost game was still not resolute in the key ball, allowing the opponent to succeed in the sneak attack. After today's game, Sun Yingsha should really sum it up, the scores of the four games were 11-3, 11-6, 11-13, 11-9.
Wang Manyu 3-0 Mukherjee
Facing Mukherjee, who had just defeated the world champion, Wang Manyu immediately taught his opponent a lesson, telling Mukherjee with victory that he had just won by luck. The scores were 11-9, 13-11, 11-6.
