At present, the overall performance of the Japanese team is the most eye-catching, and all five players who have played have advanced to the round of 16, with a 100% qualification rate from the group. The national table tennis team is the youngest in the women's team, Jin Hua Kuoman, who was eliminated by South Korean star Tian Zhixi.

In the games that have ended, there have been 4 cases of "promotion by small scores", Wang Yidi, Zhang Benzhihe, Tian Zhixi and Zhu Qianxi have become the first batch of adventurers in the new format of the World Cup, and they are also sweets. Qiu Dang, the first brother of Germany, is the only TOP10 player who has not made it out of the group stage.
Below, let's review the qualification of the 16 finalists -
1. Qiu Dang 1-3 Hayasuke Togami: Hayasuke Togami is promoted
Hayasuke Togami started the game with the first charge, taking the lead in one fell swoop. Qiu Dang was 2-2 in the first round and had to win the game to advance, but Hayasuke Togami settled the battle in the third game and took the right to qualify early. Qiu Dang simply played a bad game in the last game and sent 0-11, which was criticized for lack of professionalism.
2. Zheng Yijing 4-0 Linda Bergstrom: Zheng Yijing advances
Zheng Yijing took advantage of Linda's eagerness to attack and offset her discomfort with the chipper. The senior sister was generally more solid, taking away the victory 4-0, which was in line with the course of the game.
3. Anton Carlberg 2-2 Lim Jong-hoon: Kalberg advances
Anton won 4-0 in the first round, Lin Zhongxun won 3-1 in the first round, and the two drew in this round.
4. Wang Yidi 2-2 Shan Xiaona: Wang Yidi advanced
Wang Yidi led 2-0 in the opening game, tied Du Kaiqin in the same group in the winning game, and then only needs to win one more game to advance steadily. But in the last two games, Shan Xiaona performed better, Wang Yidi lost two games in a row, and finally drew 2-2 with Shan Xiaona. By calculating the small score, Wang Yidi is higher than Du Kaiqin, and only then did he get the promotion place.
5. Ma Long 4-0 Li Yuanzhang: Ma Long advanced
Ma Long defeated Li Yuanzhang without suspense, the gap in strength between the two is huge, and Li Yuanzhang's bloody fight is powerless to turn the situation around. Ma Long won the first three games and had advanced, but he still played diligently in the fourth game, and his professional ethics were much higher than Qiu Dang's.
6. Hina Hayada 4-0 Samara: Hina Hayada advances
Hina Hayada won 4-0 in the first round, Samara lost 1-3 in the first round, and Hina Hayada won two games to qualify in this game. Hina Hayada quickly won the first two games after the start of the match, and Samara later withdrew from the match.
7. Tomokazu Zhangmoto 2-2 Grote: Tomokazu Zhangmoto advances
Zhang Benzhi and the first two games lost in a row, and everyone saw the despair. But he resolutely did not give up in the last two games, not only recovering the game points, but also earning enough points. In the end, Zhang Benzhihe only scored 2 more points, which was definitely the first thrilling promotion.
8. Jang Ben Mi and 4-0 Kim Na Young: Jang Ben Mi and the promotion
Although Zhang Benmeihe is younger than Jin Naying, he is much more experienced in the competition and has stronger overall strength, and 4-0 is a true portrayal of the level of the two.
9. Chen Meng 3-1 Akula: Chen Meng advances
Chen Meng's first battle against the Indian monster rubber hand made people sweat for a while. However, Big Dream still had a significant advantage overall, winning three games with only 10 points for Akula. Losing the game, it was Akula who did spell Mars, and he also had the blessing of a balloon on key points.
10. Omar 3-1 Moregaard: Omar advances
World vice-champion Moregaard has not had a good run of matches in a row, and he was absolutely evenly matched with Omar in the first two games, only to collapse in the last two games and fail to qualify for the group stage of the hexagonal racquet warriors.
11. Miu Hirano 3-1 Yuan Jianan: Miu Hirano advances
Although Miyu Hirano lost in the second game, which made the game suspenseful for a while, she played a large score difference in the last two games, which fully shows that Yuan Jiannan is not on the same level as her now.
12. Wang Chuqin 4-0 Glasmenko: Wang Mengqin advanced
Wang Chuqin unexpectedly played 2-2 in the first round and must win this game to secure the promotion. Datou didn't travel again this time, he controlled the whole game, won cleanly, and made people believe that he was the number one in the world.
13. Tian Zhixi 2-2 Kuo Man: Tian Zhixi advanced
Tian Zhixi won 3 points by Kuo Man, Kuo Man's attitude to the game is really unlovable, the whole process is as casual as a lazy sheep, I can't see her fighting spirit and desire, I don't understand why the national team wants to force such an unenterprising player.
14. F. Lebrun 3-1 Gao Chengrui: F. Lebrun advances
Gao Chengrui played more energetically, losing only 11 points in four games, and once forced F. Lebrun to a thunderous outburst.
15. Zhu Qianxi 2-2 Takahashi Bruna: Zhu Qianxi advances
Zhu Qianxi and Takahashi Bruna also scored the same result, and in the end, Zhu Qianxi won by 3 points, and it was also more thrilling to get the right to qualify. Takahashi Bruna came out too late and clearly didn't understand the essence of the 4-inning system.
16. Lin Gaoyuan 4-0 Zhuang Zhiyuan: Lin Gaoyuan advanced
Lin Gaoyuan is also a 2-2 "dangerous element" in the first round, this time he won heartily on Lao Gao, and he was very MAN throughout the whole process, like General Xiaolin, not like Sister Lin. Based on this performance, his knockout stage is still worth looking forward to.
