In the first game, Wang Chuqin entered the state very quickly, and the serve and the first three boards were all online.

However, in the end, it was Wang Chuqin who was superior and took the lead in winning the first game 11-7. In the second game, the competition between the two sides was very fierce, and the score never opened.
Glasmenko does have a certain strength, and he can withstand Wang Chuqin's burst in the holding link, and the quality of the counterattack after the defense is also quite good. Wang Chuqin was anxious to open the score, causing some unnecessary mistakes. came to the key ball at the end of the game, Wang Chuqin seized the opportunity and won the second game 12-10. In the third game, Wang Chuqin improved his state, and the rapid connection of the forehand and backhand made the opponent a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. 11-2 Wang Chuduo successfully won the third game, leading Glasmenko 3-0.

Judging from the game, Wang Chuqin has not yet adjusted to his best condition, especially in the first round, and his performance is still a bit up and down.
Do you think Wang Chuqin relied on his strength to advance? Or did he rely on Glasmenko's "divine assist" to force Ping An Jae-hyun 2-2 and create an opportunity for the world's No. 1?
