Starting on April 18, the Macau World Cup will start the knockout round, and the schedule has changed, from the previous 9:30 (group stage kick-off time) to 11 o'clock. In terms of live broadcast, CCTV5+ will enter the live broadcast at 11 o'clock. CCTV5 will cut into the live broadcast at 18 o'clock. I believe that I will not miss the game of the national table tennis soldiers. Entering the knockout round, the number of matches has been significantly reduced. There are also changes to the format, and the group stage is a new format, where only 4 games need to be played, regardless of the final score. Entering the knockout round, the format returns to the familiar 7-game 4-win format, looking forward to more exciting, which is also the most familiar way for everyone.
After the end of the third match day, all the top 16 were released, and the draw was immediately held! The top 16 lineup, men's singles, all 6 national table tennis players advanced, and Japan 2 people. In women's singles, 5 people from the national table tennis were promoted, and 3 people from Japan and South Korea each.
As can be seen from the draw, Malone was slightly disadvantaged and met Felix Lebrun. Wang Chuqin met Hugo, and there was no room for error. Wang Chuqin's 1/4 division, the pressure to break through is not small.
In women's singles, Hina Hayada faced Shin Yubin. Sun Yingsha ushered in the civil war against Chen Xingtong. Wang Yidi played against Zhang Benmeihe. Chen Meng and Wang Manyu are not too difficult to advance to the first round of elimination, and Wang Manyu's 4/4 division is slightly more difficult.
The remaining fixtures in the knockout rounds are:
On April 19, 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. will be divided into two time slots, and the top 8 knockout matches will be broadcast live
The semi-finals will be held at 6 p.m. on April 20
The final will be held at 7:30 p.m. on April 21.
Among them, the live broadcast plan of CCTV sports channel and event channel is:
April 18 2024 ITTF Singles World Cup 1/8 Finals 11 o'clock CCTV5+ (11 o'clock), CCTV5 (18 o'clock)

It can be seen that CCTV5 will broadcast diving, CBA and other events live on April 20, and cannot broadcast table tennis matches live.
