At the WTT Macau Singles World Cup, there was a 2-2 draw for the first time in the history of table tennis, and the debut of this new format undoubtedly added new suspense and discussion to the game. In this eye-catching matchup, the contest between Wang Chuqin of Chinese national table tennis and South Korean player Ahn Jae-hyun became the focus. The game was played in a "four-game format", with two players each winning two games, but the slight difference in the small score - 39-38 showed the intensity and stalemate of the game.

Wang Chuqin showed great skill and composure in the early stages of the match, taking an 11-9 and 11-7 lead. However, as the game progressed, he was slightly negligent in handling some key balls in the third and fourth games, and was tied by his opponent with scores of 9-11 and 8-11. Despite this, Wang's overall performance won the approval of many fans, who praised him for his ability to maintain a resilient attitude under pressure. In addition, Wang Chuqin's innovation in serving skills and variation is also a highlight of this match.
In contrast to the player's shining performance, Wang Chuqin's coach Wang Hao's tactical arrangement and suspension scheduling in this game have become the focus of discussion among some fans and commentators. There is an opinion that the tactical adjustment at the critical moment is not timely or slightly conservative, which may have affected the trend of the game. This point has caused extensive discussion, and many people have put forward their own views and suggestions on how to make more effective tactical decisions at critical moments, which is not only a challenge for Wang Pihao, but also a test of the strategic depth of the entire coaching team.
This game is not only a contest of skills, but also a confrontation of tactics and psychology. The new "four-game format" requires players to give their all in every game, as every point and game can be the key to the outcome of the match. This format puts forward higher requirements for the physical and mental endurance of the players. The match between Wang Chuqin and Ahn Jae-hyun clearly showed how players need to better manage the pace of the game, control the emotions on the court, and seize opportunities at key moments under the new format.
The 2-2 draw due to the new format not only tested the resilience of the players, but also sparked a wide discussion about the fairness and reasonableness of the format. The new format also greatly enhances the spectator experience. The outcome of each game can directly affect the final outcome, and this format greatly increases the suspense and enjoyment of the game.
