In the next men's singles semifinals, Lin Shidong faced his teammate Wang Chuqin, played actively, and won two games in a row, although the final score was 3-4 and lost the game, but the 19-year-old Lin Shidong has an absolutely promising future and is fully capable of being among the main layers of the national table tennis men's team!
Qian Tianyi, a 24-year-old beautiful player of the national table tennis women's team, won 3 consecutive games in the women's singles field and broke into the quarterfinals, and her overall performance was also very good.

Among the main players of national table tennis, there are 5 people whose performance is not up to par, namely Wang Manyu, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan.
Among them, Wang Manyu lost 1-3 to India's Batra in the women's singles 1/16 finals, you must know that Wang Manyu won all five matches against Batra before, and in the important match related to the women's singles quota in the Paris Olympics, Wang Manyu actually lost, which really made all fans unbelievable.
As a result, Chen Meng, who competed with Wang Manyu for the women's singles quota at the Paris Olympics, seized the opportunity and defeated the three main players in the lower half of the women's singles, Miyu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto, and Hina Hayata, and advanced to the women's singles final while successfully getting the women's singles quota for the Paris Olympics.
Fan Zhendong still did not adjust to the best state, in the men's singles 1/8 finals in the face of German player Francesca, in the case of winning two games in a row, the opponent won three games in a row, you must know that in the deciding game, Fan Zhendong once led 10-8, holding two match points and the opponent scored 4 points in a row, Xiaopang lost so much that the fans were really disappointed, and also made many fans full of worries about Fan Zhendong's prospects in the Paris Olympics.
Ma Long lost in the men's singles 1/16 finals, 0-3 defeat to South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen, in the face of the opponent's hot state, Ma Long did not find a way to contain it from beginning to end, and could not see the momentum of Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan in the Macau Singles World Cup last month, and the Dragons' performance was still very disappointing to some fans.
The losses of Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan also surprised many balls, and they also lost in the men's singles 1/16 finals, Liang Jingkun lost 2-3 to Iran's Alamiyan; Lin Gaoyuan lost 1-3 to Denmark's Grote.
The overall performance of the remaining 5 main players of the national table tennis is still okay, at least for now, they have not lost the foreign war, among which Chen Xingtong's 0-3 defeat to Qian Tianyi is an upset, but the result of this game will not change the position of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi in the national table tennis women's team, Chen Xingtong is still one of the five main players, and Qian Tianyi does need to continue to work hard to become the main team.
After winning 3 consecutive foreign battles, Wang Yidi lost to teammate Sun Yingsha 1-4 in the women's singles semifinals, ending the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, but Wang Yidi defeated Japanese player Misei Ito 4-3 in the women's singles semifinals, which still left a very deep impression on many fans.
