In the early morning of May 6, Beijing time, the 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam ended the second day of the main event, with all the first rounds of men's singles and women's singles matches, and the top 32 singles were all released.

Following the six victories in six matches on the first match day, the other six players on the second match day also maintained a winning record. Among them, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, Ma Long, and Chen Xingtong all swept their opponents 3-0, while Qian Tianyi "let two chase three" and staged a magical reversal; Wang Yidi staged a "frightening moment", leading 2-0 and being forced to a tiebreaker by the opponent, and finally won 3-2 narrowly to advance.

The results of 6 players in the national table tennis on May 5

1. Fan Zhendong 3-0 Nicholas Boggs

The score of the third game: 14-12, 11-6, 11-5.

Fan Zhendong was a little tight at first, but after winning the first game in a thrilling game, he fully stimulated his state, and then firmly held the initiative in his hands, and finally won in three straight games.

2. Qian Tianyi 3-2 Ni Xialian

Five-game scores: 13-15, 9-11, 11-7, 12-10, 11-7.

Qian Tianyi tossed the simple game to the tiebreaker.

Both are left-handed players, Ni Xialian is good at continuous forehand attacks, while Qian Tianyi's specialty is backhand holding and quick tearing. As a result, in the first two games, Qian Tianyi always wanted to attack sideways with his forehand, which was in Ni Xialian's arms. Moreover, Ni Xialian's return ball bounced irregularly, and Qian Tianyi's forehand was easy to miss. The scores of the two sides were stalemate to the key points, and the experienced Ni Xialian changed a lot in the first three boards, and won the key points in a row, even if she only won two points in each game.

From the third game, Qian Tianyi finally determined his tactics, gave full play to the speed advantage of his backhand, and suppressed the opponent's play. But the fourth game still encountered twists and turns, Ni Xialian got the match point 10-9, Qian Tianyi withstood the pressure and scored three points in a row, won the game thrillingly, and chased the big score to a 2-2 draw. In the fourth game, he held the match point but unfortunately missed it, which affected Ni Xialian's mentality in the decisive game, resulting in 3-8 behind. Although she wanted to chase the points again, Qian Tianyi did not give her another chance, and finally sealed the victory with 11-7.

3. Sun Yingsha 3-0 Liu Xinyin

The score of the third game: 11-7, 11-4, 11-4.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too large, and Liu Xinyin wanted to take the next game by surprise in the first game, but Sun Yingsha didn't give her a chance. After losing the first game, Liu Xinyin stopped struggling and calmly accepted the coming.

4. Malone 3-0 Martin Allegro

The score of the third game: 11-4, 11-4, 11-6.

Originally, the two sides played step by step, and Malone started 5-0 and easily won the first game 11-4. But in the second game, Allegro seemed to want to exert his strength, especially the high ball on the far platform to counterattack, which was originally Ma Long's routine in the first game, but it was returned. Ma Long immediately got serious and directly blasted out a wave of 6-0 to take away the second game. After 7-6 in the third game, Malone scored 4 points in a row and finally ended the game 11-6.

5. Wang Yidi 3-2 Parvard

Five-game scores: 11-7, 11-4, 7-11, 8-11, 12-10.

The more Wang Yidi went to the key game, the more he "played with fire", and almost "overturned" against a French player ranked 26th in the world, this is to help the coaching staff "make a decision": Don't choose me for the Paris Olympics?

Wang Yidi is only threatened when his state is completely online, and once he relaxes, it is common to lose two games in a row, and his ability to adjust is slightly insufficient. In the deciding game, he led 9-7 but lost 3 points in a row, but the opponent got the match point first. Fortunately, the 19-year-old Pavard was still very immature, and he was too nervous in the face of the upcoming victory, and as a result, he lost 3 points in a row, and Wang Yidi was able to win the last game 12-10.

6. Chen Xingtong 3-0 Samara

The score of the three games: 11-8, 11-5, 11-6.

Although it was the first time for the two sides to play each other, Chen Xingtong's basic skills were too solid, and even if Samara fought to get some points, he couldn't change the trend of the game.

With Samara out, all four Romanian women's singles players are in one round.
