Winter defeated Samara 3-1, because there is also Hina Hayada in this group, so it will be very difficult for Samara to compete for qualification.
Duda 3-1 Huang Zhenting, 11-7, 11-7, 9-11, 11-8, this group has Fan Zhendong, for both of them, fighting for honor, and Duda has already lost to Fan Zhendong in the first round.
Zeng Jian 3-1 Zhang An, 11-5, 11-3, 10-12, 11-9, this game was somewhat unpopular, Zhang An once entered the semifinals of the Women's Singles World Cup, and his form has fluctuated in recent years, and his results have also dropped slightly.

Ahn Jae-hyun 2-2 Kirill Glasmenko, 7-11, 11-9, 11-1, 10-12, this game is related to Wang Chuqin's qualifying situation, because Wang Chuqin and Ahn Jae-hyun played 2-2 in the first round, so in this game, national table tennis fans hope that Glasmenko can defeat Ahn Jae-hyun or draw with him.
This result is beneficial to Wang Chuqin, if he is won by Ahn Jae-hyun 4-0, then Wang Chuqin must also have a 4-0 chance in the final round, and he still needs to count small points.
In this way, Wang Chuqin only needs to defeat Glasmenko 3-1, and he will qualify directly, if 2-2, he needs to score a smaller score, because Ahn Jae-hyun won 6 points with a total score of 39-33 in this game, and in the case of a draw, it is more to win 6 points, Wang Chuqin had better not play 2-2, play normally, 4-0 is not a problem, and the other states fluctuate, plus the influence of various factors.
Today's game Glasmenko was still very powerful, although the third game was bombed 1-11, the fourth game still bit down to equalize.

Tomislav Puka defeated Zhuang Zhiyuan 3-1, 8-11, 11-5, 11-8, 11-4, this game is related to Lin Gaoyuan's qualifying situation, mainly because Lin Gaoyuan was forced to draw by Puka in the first round, because Zhuang Zhiyuan was reversed after winning the first game, his own qualifying situation is already very dangerous.
In this game, Puka scored a total of 34-28 points and won the opponent by 6 points, which means that if Lin Gaoyuan wants to qualify, he must also be at least 3-1 Zhuang Zhiyuan, and he can also win more than 6 points, and the insurance is still 4-0, but it is still difficult to clean up Zhuang Zhiyuan.
