- The world champion and world runner-up lost in an upset
World Champion Zhuang Zhiyuan's first-round opponent was Croatia's Pulko. Zhuang Zhiyuan's first three boards and serve are his strengths, and in the first game, Zhuang Zhiyuan played to his advantage and won 11-8. At the beginning of the second game, Pulco took the initiative to pick up the ball, hit the ball into the standoff mode, and found a breakthrough point. Pulco was more capable of attacking, winning three games in a row 11-5, 11-8, 11-4 and winning 3-1.
World runner-up Shan Xiaona's first-round opponent is Hong Kong's To Hoi Kwan. Shan Xiaona focused on changes, and today's game was always suppressed by the opponent, losing 4 games in a row, and losing 0-4 in a big upset.
World runner-up Ahn Jae-hyun broke out in the first round and drew 2-2 with world No. 1 Wang Chuqin. In the second round, his opponent was Kirill, who was expected to win easily. Ahn Jae-hyun's form today was far worse than yesterday, especially the violent attack power of the forehand did not come out, and he was finally forced to draw by the opponent and ended 2-2. With two draws in a row, there is little hope of qualifying.
- Chinese players won 1 win
The Chinese player only has one match today, and Kuo Man became the only Chinese player to appear. Kuo Man's opponent is Australia's Hong Jianfang. Kuaiman was normal, winning in straight games 11-5, 11-6, 11-3, 11-9 to get off to a good start.
