They are competing for the round of 16 opponents in the round of 32, Wang Chuqin's opponent is Romania's Ionescu, Lin Gaoyuan's opponent is Denmark's Grote, Liang Jingkun's opponent is Iran's Alamiyan, and Lin Shidong's opponent is Germany's chipper Firus.
1. The top half of the men's singles has been out of the top 16
The top 16 of the men's singles have been released: Wang Chuqin, Ionescu, Yoshimura Maharu, Assal, Ocharov, Otsuka Daito, Grote, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Alamiyang, Firus, Lim Shidong, Lee Sang-so, Aruna, Zhao Dacheng and Zhuang Zhiyuan. The top 32 battle in the first half of the region has just been released.
In the top quarter, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan meet in the quarter-finals, with Wang Chuqin and Ionescu battling it out in the round of 32 first, and then possibly Japan's Maharu Yoshimura and Egypt's Asal in the same half. Lin Gaoyuan first competed with Grote for the top 32, and Ocharov in the same half of the region and Japan's Otsuka Daden will compete for a place in the top 32, and Gao Yuan is very likely to meet Ocharov.
In the two-quarters district, Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong are very likely to meet in the top 32 in advance. Big Fat first had to pass Iran's Alamiyang, who narrowly defeated Taipei's Gao Chengrui 3-2 on the first day. If Lin Shidong can beat the strongest chipper Philus, it is very likely that he will encounter his senior brother Liang Jingkun in advance. The other half of the district, along with Lee Sang-so, Cho Dae-sung, Aruna and Chong Ji-yeon, is also very competitive. The top 32 in the bottom half will be released today.
2. The bottom half of the women's singles produces the top 16
The lower half of the women's singles was moved out of the top 16 list, and the next round of opponents of national table tennis Wang Manyu and Chen Meng was released. Chen Meng and Zhang Benmei are in a semi-zone, and Chen Meng's opponent in the next round is Canada's Chinese player Zhang Mo, Zhang Benmei and will meet the Chinese player, Portugal's Shao Jieni. Also in this area are Miu Hirano, Zhu Qianxi, Picoline and Bayo. Daiyu may also have to teach Miu Hirano a lesson. Then it is possible to face Miwa Zhang again.
Wang Manyu in the second half of the district, Hina Hayada advanced strongly, and met Shan Xiaona in the next round, Wang Manyu's opponent was the old opponent Batra. Competing with Hina Hayada for the round of 16, Taipei's Zheng Yijing is very likely to be Hina's blocker of Hayata, Wang Manyu will encounter the German bitter master Nina, and whether Hayada and Manyu can meet in the top 8 still needs to wait for many tests.
This half is looking forward to Hina Hayada and Wang Manyu rushing out, and the two will meet in the quarterfinals to reproduce the wonderful showdown of the Macau World Cup!
