On April 18, Beijing time, the 1/8 finals of the Macao World Cup singles were in full swing, and after fierce competition, four places were born in the men's and women's singles quarterfinals. National table tennis players Lin Gaoyuan, Ma Long, and Chen Meng lived up to expectations and successfully advanced, while Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi were unexpectedly out, which is regrettable.
Lin Gaoyuan faced the European Cup men's singles champion Darko and showed strong strength, winning with a score of 4-2, making a good start for the national table tennis men's singles. Ma Long won again in the duel with French teenager Felix Lebrun, achieving four consecutive victories against the opponent, showing the stability and strength of the veteran.
However, Liang's match was a big surprise. He struggled to catch up when he was behind by a big score, but in the end he still lost 3-4 and unfortunately went out. With Liang's loss, Tomokazu sees hope of advancing to the semi-finals, and his next match will undoubtedly be in the spotlight.
In the women's singles competition, Wang Yidi's exit was also unexpected. She lost 1-4 to Miwa Zhangmoto and lost to the Japanese table tennis player again, which made people worry about her performance in foreign battles. Chen Meng, on the other hand, easily defeated Sutasini 4-0, showing strong dominance.
In other competitions, players such as Zheng Yijing and Miyu Hirano also played well and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Tonight's game will be even more exciting, Sun Yingsha, Chen Xingtong, Wang Manyu, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong and other players will continue to play and compete for a place in the quarterfinals. We'll see how they perform.
In short, today's Macao World Cup singles 1/8 finals are full of surprises and surprises, and the national table tennis players have both joys and worries. But regardless of the outcome, they showed a tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding strength. I look forward to them continuing to play well in the next games and winning glory for the national table tennis!
