On the evening of April 19, Beijing time, the 1/4 finals of the 2024 ITTF Macao Men's Singles World Cup were fiercely contested. In the only national table tennis civil war game, Lin Gaoyuan went crazy and defeated Fan Zhendong 4-2. Lin Gaoyuan's semi-final opponent is Japan's Tomokazu Haramoto. At present, three seats have been produced in the top four, namely Lin Gaoyuan, Ma Long, and Zhang Benzhihe. Because Lin Gaoyuan was reversed by Zhang Benzhihe after leading 3-0 before, the probability of Zhang Benzhihe advancing to the final has been greatly improved. At present, the last seat is decided between Zhang Yuzhen and Wang Chuqin!
The three quarter-finals that have ended
Fan Zhendong 2-4 Lin Gaoyuan
Fan Zhendong's key points today were not particularly good, and the 8-1 lead in the fifth game was overturned by Lin Gaoyuan, which was the turning point of the game, Lin Gaoyuan's backhand went crazy today, and defeated Fan Zhendong 4-2. Fan Zhendong has not won a championship for many months. （7-11/11-6/7-11/11-6/10-12/7-11）
Tomokazu Zhang 4-2 Carlberg
Zhang Benzhihe was not in such a state at the beginning, and when he fell behind 1-2 with a big score, Zhang Benzhihe, who had a very high desire to win, actively mobilized himself, and howled with all his strength every time he scored a point, so that his body warmed up. After the state came out, Carlberg had no power to parry. Score of 6 games: 9-11/11-7/9-11/11-9/11-9/11-4
Marlon 4-2 Hayasuke Togami
Ma Long said in the post-match interview that he had exceeded the task of advancing to the semifinals. Ma Long may know that he doesn't have much chance to face the young Wang Chuqin in the semifinals. But I have to say that today let us see that the former hexagonal warrior is back, the first four games are more stalemate with Hayasuke Togami, and the last two games Malone is completely crazy, no matter how to play, two 11-3 to lock the victory. Score per game (5-11/11-5/7-11/11-7/11-3/11-3)
