On April 19, the ITTF Macao Singles World Cup continued, in this match day, a total of 7 players played in the national table tennis, except for Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi were eliminated, the rest of the players successfully advanced to the top 8.
As of press time, the specific results of the matches that have been concluded are summarized as follows:
1. Men's singles 1/4 finals, Ma Long 4-2 Hayasuke Togami, the score is: 5-11, 11-5, 7-11, 11-7, 11-3, 11-3
2. Women's singles 1/4 finals, Chen Meng 4-0 Miyu Hirano, score: 11-5, 11-8, 11-9, 11-6
In the two matches that have ended, Ma Long has played well against Japan's young player Hayasuke Togami, and withstood the impact of his opponent, as a veteran, Ma Long has shown enough competitive form, in addition, his experience and many tactical changes are also advantages.
In the other match, Chen Meng faced the Japanese player Miu Hirano, who has been confirmed to participate in the women's singles event of this year's Paris Olympics, Chen Meng did not give her opponent too many chances, won 4-0, and successfully advanced to the top 4, her opponent will be the winner between Sun Yingsha and Zheng Yijing.
Today's Macau World Cup, the matchups in the evening session are as follows:
18:00 Women's Singles Wang Manyu VS Hina Hayada (Japan)
18:50 Men's Singles Lin Gaoyuan VS Fan Zhendong
19:40 Women's Singles Sun Yingsha VS Zheng Yijing (Chinese Taipei)
20:30 Men's Singles Wang Chuqin VS Jang Woo-jin (Korea)
In the next game, the highlight is the duel between Wang Manyu and Hina Hayata, due to the introduction of the new women's singles competition rules of the Paris Olympics by the national table tennis, if you lose to Hina Hayata, the main opponent of the foreign association, Wang Manyu will be deducted 3000 points, that is, basically bid farewell to the competition for the women's singles seat in the Paris Olympics. If she can win this match, then the possibility of Wang Manyu being able to compete in the women's singles event at the Paris Olympics is greatly increased.
However, I also believe that Wang Manyu can play normally and can win although the opponent's strength is also very strong and it is difficult to deal with, but Wang Manyu will definitely be able to! If he can win, Wang Manyu's opponent in the next round will be Miwa Zhangmoto, a potential new star of Japan. Together with her brother Tomokazu Harimoto, the player has already advanced to the semi-finals of this World Cup.
In addition, in the men's singles field, Fan Zhendong continued to play against teammate Lin Gaoyuan after defeating Lin Shidong. Wang Chuqin played against South Korea's main men's singles Zhang Yuzhen. Sun Yingsha played against Chinese Taipei veteran Zheng Yijing, and the probability of winning is higher.
So, let's continue to cheer for all the participating national table tennis players!
