On the evening of April 17, Beijing time, the top 16 men's and women's singles of the ITTF World Cup were all produced. Immediately afterwards, the draw for the second stage of the knockout round was held. As a result, Sun Yingsha will face teammate Chen Xingtong in the first round, and Wang Yidi will fight Zhang Benmeihe.
Women's singles draw for the second phase of the Macau World Cup:
Zone 1/4: Sun Yingsha vs Chen Xingtong, Zheng Yijing vs Zhu Qianxi
2/4区：平野美宇vs田志希、素塔西尼·萨维塔布特vs陈梦
Zone 3/4: Wang Yidi vs Zhang Benmeihe, Sofia Polkanova vs Adriana Diaz
Zone 4/4: Shin Yubin vs Hina Hayata, Bernadette Szokos vs Wang Manyu
Judging from the above draws, Sasha's opponents in the same district are very tough. Chen Xingtong has just defeated Sun Yingsha in the Singapore Grand Slam that ended not long ago, and in the first round of the second stage of the World Cup, Sasha will usher in a revenge battle. Also in the same district as Sasha is South Korea's Zhu Qianxi, a Chinese player who has also posed a very big threat to Sasha. It is worth mentioning that Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, who were divided into the lower half of the two races in Singapore and Incheon in succession, were finally separated this time. Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are in the top half of the same district. Chen Meng's biggest opponent in the 2/4 zone is still Japan's Miu Hirano. If they play normally, Chen Meng and Sasha are expected to meet in the semifinals and compete for a place in the finals.
In the second half, Wang Yidi will face Zhang Benmeihe in the first round. Previously, Wang Yidi lost to Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano one after another, and due to the consecutive losses to his main opponent, Wang Yidi was also declared by Li Falcon to be unsuitable for competing in Paris singles. Macau World Cup Wang Yidi and Zhang Benmei and this game is extremely critical, the national table tennis coaching staff in the World Cup re-revised the deduction rules, once Wang Yidi loses the foreign war, she will be deducted 3000 points. Wang Manyu rarely met Hina Hayada during the Paris Olympic cycle, and the two of them were in the same 4/4 zone in this World Cup. Whether he can defeat the first sister of Japan and successfully meet Wang Yidi in the semifinals is also a very big test for Wang Manyu.
