The 2024 World Cup of Table Tennis Macau has ended the competition for the group stage, and the top of each group can qualify for the knockout round of 16. Each of the 16 groups has a seeded player, and in the women's singles, two groups have seeded players who have not qualified.
Group 7's Ito finished second in the group, drawing 2-2 in both games, but losing to Thailand's Sutasini by a narrow score, while Ito was the only top 10 in the world to exit the group stage, and in Group 16, Germany's Mitram missed out of the qualification, also losing to Polkanova.
In the top 16, the national table tennis occupies 5 seats, Japan and South Korea each have 3 seats, then China, Japan and South Korea have one person who has no chance to qualify, and the women are still the world of Asia, with a total of 13 people qualifying.
The knockout round needs to be redrawn, and only the top 4 seeds are set, which means that No. 5-16 is a random draw, and sure enough, the first round will be against the strong and strong, and the No. 5 seed Chen Xingtong directly met the No. 1 seed Sun Yingsha.
The first round of national table tennis is about to fight a civil war, which is obviously an unfavorable draw, and neither side wants to see the sign, the two have played against each other in the Singapore Grand Slam, when Chen Xingtong played very well, eliminated Sun Yingsha, then Sun Yingsha met the strongest opponent, and drew Chen Xingtong.
Of course, for Chen Xingtong, it was also very helpless to meet Sun Yingsha in the first round, although he won once last month, but the overall confrontation was inferior, and it was more difficult to win again this time, Sun Yingsha must be fully prepared and learn the lessons of the last time. There are still Zheng Yijing and Zhu Qianxi in the 1/4 area, and it is difficult to pose a big threat to the main force of national table tennis if they play normally.
In the 2/4 zone, Miyu Hirano played against Tian Zhixi, both of them have been in good form recently, and Tian Zhixi defeated Miyu Hirano in the Asian Games last year, but it still depends on the on-the-spot performance. Chen Meng played against Thailand's Sutasini, and Chen Meng's current form is good, but he must pay attention to his opponent's super-level performance.
3/4 Wang Yidi is a hard battle, direct dialogue with Zhang Benmeihe, last year, Wang Yidi narrowly won, although the hard power Wang Yidi is stronger, but Zhang Benmeihe's impact is very strong, and Wang Yidi's group play is average, and it needs to be actively adjusted.
In the 4/4 zone, Wang Manyu vs. Szokos is also a tough battle, last year Szokos defeated Chen Xingtong and Chen Meng one after another, Wang Manyu's competitive state in this game is very good, I believe he can win the game. In the match between Hina Hayada and Shin Yubin, there is a high probability that Hina Hayada will win.
