On July 5th, the second day of the WTT Bangkok Stars Tournament arrived as scheduled, and the competition schedule was tight and exciting. On this day, the Mixed Doubles, Men's Doubles and Women's Doubles events will determine the finals, while the singles competition will enter the second round of the competition, which will produce the last 16 players. The two national table tennis players, Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong, also ushered in their debut, which attracted the attention of fans.
The first mixed doubles quarter-finals are undoubtedly one of the most interesting matches. Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin vs. Thanveriavic/Sutasini, Wong Chun-ting/To Hoi-kin vs. Cho Dae-shing/Zhu Qianxi, Yao Juntao/Ng Wing-lam against Lim Yun-ru/Chen Siyu, and Manash Shachittale vs. Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata. A win for Cho Dae Shing/Chu Qianxi will put the suspense out of the match, while Lim Jong Hoon/Shin Yu Bin will be looking to secure a place in the final and secure their place in the world. For Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, there is a lot of pressure on them to compete for world No. 2 and will need to see the performance of Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin in addition to their own title.
In the subsequent singles match, the Japanese table tennis civil war between Hashimoto Honoka and Miwa Zhang attracted much attention. This match not only tested Zhang Benmeihe's ability to play chipping, but also a comprehensive test of her mentality and skills. Since Hina Hayada did not participate in the singles competition, Miwa Zhang became one of the favorites to win the tournament. She and Chen Xingtong guarded the upper and lower halves respectively, and are expected to meet in the final and stage a wonderful showdown.
The match between Huang Zhenting and Achanta that followed is also worth paying attention to. As a contest between the first brother of Hong Kong, China and the first brother of India, this match is not only about personal honor, but also affects Lin Gaoyuan's next opponent. Huang Zhenting is stronger and more experienced, but as an unfamiliar opponent, Achanta is a threat not to be underestimated. The outcome of this match will have a direct impact on the outcome of subsequent matches.
The mixed doubles semi-finals in the evening were even more in focus. Who can lock up the second final ticket between Japan and South Korea will become the biggest attraction. Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada have the strength to compete for the title, but now they not only have to rely on strength to speak, but also need the blessing of luck. Hina Hayada gave up singles to focus on mixed doubles, which made Japanese table tennis slightly miscalculated in this competition. If they can successfully hold off their opponents and advance to the final, they will be expected to do well.
In the men's singles competition, defending champion Lin Gaoyuan will face a new challenge from Chinese Taipei's Feng Yixin. As the only seedling of national table tennis, Lin Gaoyuan is facing huge pressure from foreign wars. Although the first match against the civil war has reduced the difficulty factor, it is not to be taken lightly, and a quick victory will be the goal that Lin Gaoyuan needs to pursue, he needs to adapt to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible and adjust his competitive condition in case of emergency.
In the women's singles competition held in the same time period, the internal war of the provincial team was also quite interesting, and the first sister of Chinese Taipei, Zheng Yijing, rose to the challenge, her strength was better and she was more likely to win. If the winner will meet Chen Xingtong in the 1/4 finals, this is undoubtedly a tough battle, and we look forward to the two players presenting us with a wonderful battle of attack!
In addition, the duel between Tian Zhixi and Sutasini and Romanian sister Szokos and Hong Kong's first sister Du Hoi Kim is also exciting, what kind of visual feast will they bring us? Let's wait and see! These two games are evenly matched, and the outcome is unpredictable, who can be better? It's worth the wait!

Chen Xingtong was challenged by the Japanese table tennis giant Shibata Shaji, this game is not easy, for Chen Xingtong, who has not participated for a long time, he needs to adjust his state as soon as possible to avoid slow heating; Lin Yunru, who has also just made a comeback, will also face a severe test, and he urgently needs to find his best competitive form to cope with the next games!
