Highlights of the game
First, the national table tennis staged a civil war, Sun Yingsha vs. Chen Xingtong, and Lin Shidong vs. Fan Zhendong. The difference in the strength of these two sets of duels is still relatively obvious, which is worthy of the attention of fans. Second, Wang Yidi faced the 16-year-old Zhang Benmeihe, although she is young, she is strong, and Dadi cannot be underestimated. Wang Chuqin faced Hugo, the runner-up of the Incheon Championship, who had eliminated Fan Zhendong 4-2, and his strength was strong and his playing style was unusual. Lebrun is currently ranked fifth in the world, and Malone's matchup is more suspenseful.
Knockout system
The second stage is the knockout system, and the game adopts a best-of-7 system until the champion is decided. The winners of the 16 groups advance to the knockout round, which will be drawn by elimination. The first place in the first group and the first place in the third group are placed in the No. 1 and No. 8 positions respectively, the first place in the second group and the first place in the fourth group are placed in the No. 2 and No. 9 positions respectively, and the first place in the remaining groups is randomly placed in the remaining positions according to the form of the draw. This kind of system helps players give full play to their technical expertise and reduce the possibility of upsets.
