On April 17, the 2024 Macau International Table Tennis World Cup was underway, and Wang Chuqin defeated Kazakhstan's Glasmenko 4:0 in the just-concluded focus battle, ranking first in the group and successfully advancing to the round of 16. The score of the four games is 11:7,12:10 11:2,11:5, many fans are counting points before the game starts, if Wang Chuqin can advance 3:1 or 4:0 in this game today, if 2:2 will be counted, the good end of the World Cup has become a scoring cup, a bit like the promotion of the national football team, and the new competition system has indeed brought a lot of changes.
On the first match day, Wang Chuqin upset Ping An Jae-hyun 2:2, leading his opponent by 1 point in small points. Throughout the first game of the two-man duel from 4:4 to 5:5, the impact of the first three boards broke out very intensely, and Wang Chuqin's popularity at the scene was also very high, cheering one after another, and won the first game 11:7.
In the second game, Menke led Wang Chuqin 2:1 at the beginning, and then chased the score to adjust himself, and performed better in the use of the hold, mobilizing his forehand 12:10 many times, Wang Chuqin raised his arms and shouted to win the second game.
In the third game, Wang Chuqin played a 4:1 start, Menke called a timeout, but the tactical arrangement did not have any effect, Wang Chuqin easily 11:2. The fourth game undoubtedly entered garbage time, Wang Chuqin began to perform, and finally won the game 4:0.
Wang Chuqin was interviewed after the game to summarize the reasons for the win, and his words made fans feel distressed. Wang Chuqin said: The first group stage was the most difficult day, I think I have experienced this ups and downs, see if I can turn it around, and then calm down. For today's game, Wang Chuqin said: I didn't think about the score, I just played game by game, there were many problems and uncontrollable situations on the field, and I slowly adjusted it in the follow-up, but I was glad that I came back to life.
It can be seen that Wang Chuqin is playing this kind of World Cup knockout match for the first time, and he also cherishes the moment on the field, and he also needs to adapt to the new format. He also cherishes being able to qualify for the round of 16 in a passive situation, and as the world No. 1 is so humble, and we hope that he will perform better and better in the following matches. At present, 5 players in national table tennis have advanced to the top 16 in advance, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Chen Meng, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Yidi also have 5 players to advance, and Kuo Man, a young player, will be the first person eliminated by the Chinese team, which is also very regrettable, and we are also looking forward to their next performance.
