On April 18, Beijing time, the knockout round of the 2024 ITTF Macau World Cup kicked off. In the just-concluded first women's singles 1/8 finals, Wang Yidi played poorly, losing 1-4 to Zhang Benmeihe, being deducted 3,000 Olympic points, and missing the Paris Olympics. Zhang's next opponent in the round is the winner between Polkanova and Diaz.
Wang Yidi's group stage was one win and one draw. The first round of the group stage was against Hong Kong, China's first sister Du Kaiqin, Wang Yidi won 3-1, and the second game was against the 41-year-old German player Shan Xiaona, Wang Yidi was chased for 2 games in a row, and it was 2-2. Wang Yidi's state in the group stage was average, and his performance was decent.
Zhang Benmei and the group stage are two consecutive wins, the first game is 3-1 Zhang Mo, and the second game is 3-1 Kim Naying. Although he participated in the adult world championship for the first time, Zhang Benmeihe, who was only 15 years old, was not stage frightened, and he would be the main competitor of national table tennis in the future. Zhang Benmeihe is much better than Kuo Man, who also participated in the Adult World Championships first, Kuo Man obviously has stage fright, and she can't play her true level, and she is also the only player in the national table tennis team who missed the top 16.
Review of this game, Wang Yidi and Zhang Benmei and the beginning are familiar with each other's ball path, you have a point, I have a point, and no one can pull away the score, each other has to eat serve, until 6-6 later, Zhang Benmei and the score in the tie took the lead, 8-6, Wang Yidi then strengthened the care of the forehand and backhand to chase the score to 9-9 draw.

In the third game, as the game progressed, Wang Yidi and Zhang Benmei also began to be familiar with each other's ball path, so this game held the ball more, Wang Yidi was actually at a disadvantage, the score has been behind, when 6-9 behind, after chasing two points in a row, Zhang Benmei and called a timeout, pause back, Wang Yidi received the serve and received it badly, Zhang Benmei and won two points in a row, 11-8 and won another game.
In the fourth game, Wang Yidi, who was behind by a big score, became tighter and tighter, and he was behind from the beginning, losing another game 6-11. Wang Yidi doesn't have many ways to play against the wind.
In the fifth game, Wang Yidi, who was fighting against the water, still had no way to restrict Zhang Benmeihe. fell behind 3-5 at the beginning, but Wang Yidi finally bit the score and won the game point 13-12, but he didn't grasp it, and lost another game 14-16.
