The mixed doubles of the national table tennis suffered a draw, Wang Chuqin / Wang Yidi played against top seeds Ghanaese Karan / Batra in the first round, and Liang Jingkun / Liu Weishan faced Romanian strongster Szokos / Chirita in the first round. The national table tennis team will participate in all 5 individual events, with the first appearance being the ace duo Lin Taka-yuan / Zhou Qihao, who will face Japan's rising star Yuma Tanigi / Shinosuke Ōten in the first round of the men's doubles qualifiers.

This competition is also a good opportunity for them to warm up for the World Table Tennis Championships, and in the context of the alternation of the old and the new, they must also strive to repay Liu Guoliang's trust in them.
The national table tennis has long determined a two-step plan, some players stay in China to prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships, and the other part of the players rush to Slovenia to participate in international competitions, which is considered to be a substitute for training. The number one task during this time is of course the World Table Tennis Championships, because Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen took the initiative to give up the opportunity to participate, the national table tennis has enabled many newcomers, and they lack experience in the competition, and need more competitions to find the feel, which is also the main reason why the national table tennis registered to participate in slovenian competitions.
A few days ago, the signing form for the event has been released. In the men's singles field, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun are the top two seeds, respectively, the top and bottom half of the town, Lin Gaoyuan's first round against the host player Tochik, can not be taken lightly, and the potential opponent in the second round is Jin Kehor. Wang Chuqin is also in the upper half, with the first round opponent being Nigeria's Omotayu. Liang Jingkun's opponents in the first round are qualifiers, and Zhou Qihao and Liu Dingshuo are both going to participate in the men's singles qualifiers, hoping that they can successfully break through and avoid Liang Jingkun.
In the women's singles arena, top seed Wang Yidi sat in the top half of the division, and the first round opponent was Singapore's Lin Ye. In the second half of the zone, Liu Weishan's opponent is Serbia's Lublesscu in the first round, and may meet Slovakia's Barazova in the second round. Obviously, Wang Yidi is the big favorite to win the women's singles field, as the bitter lord of Ito Mimako, Wang Yidi's normal play should be able to win this championship, the key is to see if Liu Weishan can meet her in the final.
In the men's doubles arena, Liang Jingkun / Wang Chuqin is the top seed, facing a Brazilian pair in the first round. Zhou Qihao / Lin Gaoyuan will play in the men's doubles qualifier, the first round of the opponent is the Japanese nova combination of Yuma Tanigaki / Daiden Shinoka, which will start at 18:00 Beijing time on the 1st. In the women's doubles field, Liu Weishan /Wang Yidi was supposed to participate in the qualifiers, but the qualifiers were bye again, and in fact, they had already entered the main round, and the opponents in the first round could not be determined until the qualifications were all over.
As for the mixed doubles, the national table tennis signing is general, Wang Chuqin / Wang Yidi first round to meet Ghanaese Karan / Bartra, Liang Jingkun / Liu Weishan's opponent in the first round is Szokos / Chirita, these two games are hard battles, after all, the national table tennis mixed doubles is a temporary pairing, whether it can quickly enter the state is still unknown, and the opponent is a fixed combination, it depends on the impromptu play! The four players participating in the mixed doubles are all three, and the goal is of course to impact the treble, and I wish the national table tennis good luck!
