On the third day of the Macau Table Tennis World Cup, all 12 members of the national table tennis team appeared and ushered in the final round of the group stage. Among them, the high-profile Liang Jingkun will appear in the middle of the night and play against the world's masters.
This match will not only test Liang's individual skills, but also their will and physical fitness. Although the game is scheduled at 22 o'clock in the evening, Wang Chuqin has had a similar experience before, and the national table tennis players have excellent self-regulation ability, and I believe that Liang Jingkun can also overcome the trouble of jet lag and play at a real level.
In the first two match days, the national table tennis team showed convincing dominance at the World Cup in Macau. All 9 games were swept 4-0. Although Wang Yidi dropped a game against Du Kaiqin, that didn't hide her strong strength. And the performance of the teenager Kuo Man on the field also indicates that the future of national table tennis is full of hope.
As for the draw between Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, although it caused some concern, their advantage in points still kept the prospects of qualification optimistic. Under the influence of the new format, the uncertainty of the game has increased a lot, but at the same time, it has also improved the spectacle of the game.
The schedule on April 17 was tight and challenging. After 10 o'clock in the morning, Wang Yidi will play against Shan Xiaona of the German team and must go all out. Ma Long faced Canada's Li Yuanzhang, despite the disparity in strength between the two sides, as the leader of national table tennis, his professionalism and concentration are always worthy of admiration.
At 12:30 p.m., Chen Meng will face Sliga Akula, the Indian star who has defeated Wang Yidi at the World Table Tennis Championships, which will put some pressure on Chen Meng. Of course, Chen Meng's strength and experience are far superior to her opponents, and we have every reason to believe that she can beat her opponents and emerge from the group.
The afternoon match will be even more exciting, and if Wang Chuqin can overcome Kazakhstan's Glasmenko, he will ensure progress. Kuo Man will face South Korea's Tian Zhixi, who eliminated Mimato Ito, and he must be in good spirits. And the contest between Lin Gaoyuan and Zhuang Zhiyuan of Chinese Taipei is also a focus battle.
After 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Manyu, Lin Shidong, Chen Xingtong, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha and Liang Jingkun and other team members will appear one after another. Liang Jingkun will be the latest to play at 22, and his opponent will be Sweden's Karlsson. Liang has been in excellent form in recent times and believes he is more than capable of sweeping his opponent 4-0.
As a top event in the international table tennis world, the Macau Table Tennis World Cup has attracted the attention of many fans, and the performance of the national table tennis players has attracted much attention. On the third day of the World Cup, the players of the national table tennis team began to face greater challenges and tests. It is hoped that the 12 players who participated in the competition can perform well and successfully advance to the next knockout round.
