In the first men's singles, Malaysian ace Li Zijia played, and the result was easily two consecutive cities, achieving a big score of 2-0 sweep, with a specific score of 21-13, 21-3! In an interview after the game, he was very calm: he still put patience and concentration on the game, seize the opportunity, and win the game. Thank you all for enjoying watching me play, and I'm going to try my best to give back to everyone and do my best. It can be seen that Li Zijia is humble and low-key and hopes to continue to lead the team forward.
In the second match, men's doubles, Japan's ace pair Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi played well, and with a score of 18-21, they completed a 2-1 reversal in straight games and defeated Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi. The scores in the last two games were 21-14 and 21-19 respectively!

The fourth game was also men's doubles, and the Malaysian pair Goh Shi Fei/Izuudin defeated the Japanese pair and also completed a 2-1 reversal, with the scores of 18-21, 21-15 and 21-12 in three games!
The match didn't go to five games and didn't wait for Kento Momota to come on the pitch, which was a pity that the latter also ended his international tournament journey.
In the other match, the national team defeated the defending champion India 3-1, Shi Yuqi took the lead, and both doubles seized the opportunity, Li Shifeng was reversed 1-2 and lost 1 point. So far, 2 seats have been decided in the top 4, Guoyu and Malaysia have completed the promotion, and the two teams will meet directly.
