On May 6, Beijing time, the 2024 Table Tennis Saudi Arabia Grand Slam continued, and today it can be described as a continuous upset, its Chinese table tennis was upset three times, the three main forces were eliminated, and the top 32 was the second round, which was worse than the Singapore Grand Slam, when Lin Gaoyuan and Ma Long stopped in the second round.
Liang Jingkun, Wang Manyu, and Lin Gaoyuan have been out of the game, and the opponents who lost are not very famous, and Alamiyan and Batra are not the main opponents of national table tennis in Asia.
Batra has won against Chen Xingtong before, and almost won against Wang Yidi, and the special style of play and strange players can sometimes create upsets. Alamiyang also likes to cut and pocket, and the rhythm makes Liang Jingkun very uncomfortable, and his backhand strength is outstanding.
Lin Gaoyuan also did not play his own level, the backhand did not play very well, the extension became the biggest factor in losing, eating the serve, basically high, Lin Gaoyuan is also a pity, not long ago after the World Cup was brilliant, he came to lose a foreign war, last year did not lose the foreign war, this year's two Grand Slams are the second round of losses.

In this game, Miyu Kihara's offensive firepower was very strong, and the force basically made Shen Yubin unable to parry, and he played very sharply and decisively.
