On April 19, Beijing time, it was reported that the 2024 ITTF Macau Men's and Women's World Cup continued, and CCTV5 broadcast the live broadcast of the whole game. At that time, there will be 7 Chinese players including Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin in the men's and women's singles 1/4 finals. Among them, Chen Meng faced Miyu Hirano, Wang Manyu faced Hina Hayata, and Ma Long faced Hayasuke Togami.
The 2024 ITTF World Cup Macau is a very important training event before the Paris Olympics, and all players attach great importance to it. In this competition, the Chinese women's table tennis sent 6 players Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, and Kuo Man. The Chinese men's table tennis sent 6 players Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong to play.
After fierce competition in the group round-robin, except for the women's singles Kuo Man, the other players successfully advanced to the top 16 of the men's and women's singles. In the men's singles 1/8 finals, Wang Yidi lost 1-4 in the match with Japanese player Miwa Zhangmoto, and now Wang Yidi has no self-confidence at all. Chen Xingtong missed the top 8 1-4 in the match with the world's No. 1 "Little Devil" Sun Yingsha.
In men's singles, "Big Fat" Liang Jingkun became the first male table tennis player to go out, and he lost 3-4 to Anton Carlberg and missed the top 8. Teenager Lin Shidong was reversed 3-4 in the match with Fan Zhendong, the four-time World Cup champion, and missed the top 8.
Today, the men's and women's singles quarterfinals will be contested. Women's singles 1/4 finals matchups are as follows: Zhang Benmei and Diaz (11:50), Chen Meng and Hirano Miu (13:30), Wang Manyu and Hina Hayada (18:00), Sun Yingsha and Zheng Yijing (19:40).
