Men's Singles Upper Half
Wang Chuqin 4-1 Zhang Yuzhen
【11-6，11-4，11-2，9-11，11-5】
The revenge battle of the big head is mainly to make Zhang Wuji crazy. In Busan, Zhang Yuzhen won Wang Chuqin once, but it was actually overdraft consumption, and the picture of Zhang Yuzhen's thigh cramp and almost falling at the end of the game exposed his lustful guilt.
In this battle in Macau, Wang Chuqin played clearly and firmly, and Zhang Yuzhen's best sideways forehand unreasonable and strong attack was completely restricted by him, and he almost didn't get any room to play. The domineering side leakage of the big head win is unstoppable.
Marlon 4-2 Hayasuke Togami
【5-11，11-5，7-11，11-7，11-3，11-3】
Ma Long tested the firepower in the first game, and Hayasuke Togami opened big in advance and won one game first. Malone began to take the initiative to attack in the second game, and quickly returned the color to equalize the score. Hayasuke Togami then won another game, but Ma Long was like a god in the last three games, how to play and how to have it, he couldn't stop it at all, and the last two games totaled only 6 points for Hayasuke Togami. Ma Long won this time with a great sense of security.
Men's Singles Bottom Half
Tomokazu Zhang 4-2 Carlberg
【9-11，11-7，9-11，11-9，11-9，11-4】
Tomokazu has a full speed advantage over Carlberg, who often doesn't have time to bring the game into his own strong topspin strong confrontation cycle. The small motorcycle tactics are head-to-head, and the momentum is even greater, especially in the key areas of the last three games, Tomokazu Zhang made a firm shot, so as to have the last laugh and block the only non-Asian player out of the top four.
Lin Gaoyuan 4-2 Fan Zhendong
【11-7，6-11，11-7，6-11，12-10，11-7】
Lin Gaoyuan played his strong speed and violence in the backhand position, and about 70% of his scores in the game came from the whip of the backhand. Fan Zhendong suffered a series of unexpected situations in the game, such as being judged on the serve, entering the court with an arm problem, and overturning the 8-2 lead, and was finally defeated by Lin Gaoyuan, the king of the civil war, and missed the semifinals.
