The ITTF Singles World Cup Women's Singles 1/4 finals ushered in an important match, with 15-year-old Japanese table tennis rookie Miwa Zhang Benwa facing Puerto Rico's Diaz.
Zhang Benmei's brother just played a match. Tomokazu Haramoto defeated Sweden's Karpog 4-2 to advance to the men's singles semifinals.
Three Chinese women's table tennis players advanced to the quarterfinals of women's singles, divided into three different regions, but not in the same area as Zhang Benmeihe. Zhang Benmeihe's luck is similar to that of her brother Zhang Ben Tomokazu. However, Zhang Benmeihe eliminated Wang Yidi 4-1 in the 1/8 finals and won a national table tennis player in advance. Moreover, Wang Yidi is a particularly strong player, and his recent form is very good, winning the women's singles runner-up in the Singapore Grand Slam. I didn't expect Wang Yidi to lose to Zhang Benmeihe. It can be seen how strong Zhang Benmeihe's strength is. She is only 15 years old and has a lot of potential.
