The 2024 ITTF Macao World Cup continues, and the national table tennis players perform strongly, except for the teenager Kuo Man who was unexpectedly eliminated due to a small score disadvantage, the rest of the participating national table tennis players have successfully advanced to the second stage of the men's and women's singles knockout competition. In contrast to the strong performances of the national table tennis players, some of the world's best players were unexpectedly knocked out in the gutter in the group stage, including the top 10 seeds in the men's and women's singles world rankings, Qiu Dang, and Japanese Olympic champion Misei Ito. Qiu Dang did not play well against Japanese champion Ryosuke Togami, who suffered a 3-1 defeat and failed to qualify, becoming the first seeded player to be eliminated from the tournament. There was also a big upset in the women's singles field, with Japanese Olympic champion Misei Ito being forced to draw by Wang Amy in a very good qualifying situation, and was eliminated after two consecutive draws in the group stage.
Japanese Olympic champion Misei Ito was full of confidence before this World Cup, she said that she wanted to strive for good results, but the first game made her the first slap, in the match with Thailand's Sutasini, Ito Misei only shook hands with her and drew 2-2, but on the second match day, Sutasini played poorly and the weakest Wang Amy drew again, which also indirectly helped Ito Misei regain the initiative to advance, as long as the last game beat Wang Amy, Ito Misei will definitely qualify from the group. This is not difficult in the eyes of the outside world, after all, Ito's recent form has continued to rise, and in the group stage where the opponent's strength is not strong, Ito Mimato should not have a problem advancing to the knockout round, but the final result surprised everyone, Ito Misei drew with the opponent again and was eliminated, breaking out a big upset.
Ito's second opponent in the group stage is Wang Amy, and since the first game of both sides ended in a draw, both men have hopes of advancing to the knockout round, but as a top-10 seeded player in the world, Ito is obviously stronger in terms of overall strength, and it should be reasonable to win. Sure enough, in the first game, Ito Micheng was in a burst of state, the opening consecutive scores quickly opened the score and took the lead with a disparity of 11 to 3, the second game Wang Amy started with a continuous score to occupy the initiative on the field, Ito Micheng suddenly fell off, Wang Amy recovered a game with a disparity of 11 to 4 scores, the third game was extremely fierce competition between the two sides, Ito Micheng led several times and was tied to the score, at the end of the game, Ito Micheng wasted a number of game points and won 14-12, the big score was 2 to 1 again, the fourth game Ito Micheng was defeated by the opponent with three consecutive points 10 to 12 when holding the match point, and the two sides finally fought 2-2 draw, Misei Ito missed the knockout round because of the disadvantage of small scores.
Women's singles seed Misei Ito was knocked out, while Men's Singles world No. 10 Qiu Dang also lost in the group stage. In this World Cup, many of the main players of the German team are absent, Qiu Dang is the biggest hope of German men's table tennis, but from this World Cup, Qiu Dang is not in the state, in the first game of the group stage, he drew with the little-known Saleh, and the qualifying situation has increased sharply, and in the second game, Qiu Dang's opponent is the Japanese national champion Kosuke Togami, which is more difficult for Qiu Dang to win. In the first game, Qiu Dang took a short lead at the beginning, Togami Rinsuke overtook the score in the middle of the game, at the end of the game he made the score bigger and bigger and took the lead 11-5, in the second game, Qiu Dang was not affected by the defeat in the previous game, he took advantage of the opponent's mistake opportunity to pull back a city 11-7, and in the third game, Qiu Dang was defeated by the opponent 12-10 when he was leading at the beginning, to ensure that the game was not lost to the opponent, so that in fact Qiu Dang had been eliminated in advance, and in the fourth game, Qiu Dang, who had no desire and no desire, lost 11 points in a row, and lost to the opponent 0-11 in the game, and lost 1-3 with a big score。
