The South Korean team has always been an important opponent of the national table tennis, and compared with their women's team, the men's team poses a greater threat to the national table tennis team, and has broken through China's main defense line many times. As for the Danish men's team to advance to the quarterfinals, it has surprised many people, although it has the strength to upset one or two games, but it is really difficult to make South Korea collapse across the board, this battle has little advantage, so I can only do my best to fight each other.
