The men's singles semifinals of the 2024 Table Tennis Macau World Cup ushered in a key battle, with the main national table tennis player Lin Gaoyuan facing Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto. As a result, Lin Gaoyuan withstood the impact, the state was full, he went crazy, and swept Zhang Benzhihe 4-0, and sent Zhang Benzhihe home 11-1 in a single game. In the other semi-final, Ma Long also 4-0 Wang Chuqin, so that Lin Gaoyuan successfully resisted the Japanese, met Ma Long in the final, and locked the championship and runner-up for the national table tennis.
In the women's singles semifinals earlier, Wang Manyu also defeated Zhang Ben and Zhang Benmeihe 4-2, so that Zhang Ben's brothers and sisters were both eliminated from the national table tennis. National table tennis never disappoints fans. In the other women's singles semifinals, Sun Yingsha defeated her sister Chen Meng 4-2 to reach the final.
There were 5 surprises in today's semi-finals
The first thing I didn't expect was that Lin Gaoyuan could clean up Zhang Benzhihe, and this score may not be able to make Fan Zhendong promoted. And before the game, many people thought that Lin Gaoyuan would repeat the mistakes of the past, because in the 2022 championship final, Lin Gaoyuan was reversed when he was 3-0 ahead and 9-4 in the final. It seems that Lin Gaoyuan is really in good shape, and defeating Fan Zhendong yesterday is not an upset at all!
The second unexpected is that Ma Long will advance to the finals, and he didn't expect that Ma Long will advance to the finals 4-0. Seriously suspected that Ma Long deliberately played casually in the small competition, and only hit hard in the big game, Ma Long once again proved that he was not old with a sword and was still a hexagonal warrior. In tomorrow's final with Lin Gaoyuan, Ma Long's probability of winning will be higher.
The third unexpected one who advanced to the final was the doubles pair of the Singapore Grand Slam champions, Lin Gaoyuan and Ma Long, and the two also defeated the then runner-up fat head combination respectively, that is, Ma Long defeated Wang Chuqin to advance, and Lin Gaoyuan defeated Fan Zhendong to advance.
The fourth unexpectedly, Zhang Benmeihe would let Wang Manyu suffer such a big challenge, the first four games, I thought Wang Manyu would be very easy, but at the beginning of the fifth game, I found that Zhang Benmeihe's technology is indeed very advanced, Wang Manyu has been suppressed to fight, Zhang Benmeihe lost in experience, lost in strength, lost in youth.
The fifth unexpected is that Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng will play so closely, and there is also a game that is beaten 11-1, and the winner is decided after 3 rounds are played to 10-10. Chen Meng of the competition is indeed extraordinary.
No one would have thought that the two semi-finals of the women's singles were 4-2 and the two semi-finals of the men's singles were 4-0. Tomorrow's finals Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan come on to play their own level!
