On September 11, Beijing time, the WTT Macau Championship of Table Tennis continued. This day was the third day of the game. After the daytime games, the top 16 singles were officially released. 10 of the 12 national table tennis players advanced, and the overall performance was remarkable! The latest match is shown in the figure below.
2025 WTT Macau Championship Men's Singles Top 16
2025 WTT Macau Championship Women's Singles Top 16
In this event, the absolute main players of the national table tennis team, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong, all compete in the competition, striving to win the men's and women's singles championships at Macau's home court! After the daytime games ended on September 11, the first round of singles (1/16 finals) were all over.
The top 16 men's singles national table tennis teams accounted for 4 seats (Lin Shidong, Wang Chuqin, Chen Yuanyu, Xue Fei); the top 16 women's singles national table tennis teams accounted for 6 seats (Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Kuai Man, Wang Yidi, Chen Yiyi).
It is not difficult to see in summary that the overall performance of the national table tennis women's singles is stronger than that of the national table tennis men's singles. All the 6 players participating in the competition advanced to the top 16 women's singles! The two who lost the game came from the men's singles in the national table tennis team, namely Xiang Peng and Huang Youzheng. Xiang Peng lost 2-3 to the famous German player Francesca, and lost only 2 points 10-12 in the final game; Huang Youzheng lost 0-3 to the "No. 1 African" Nigerian player Aruna.
However, Xue Fei, a non-main player of the national table tennis men's singles, brought fans a big surprise! In the first round of men's singles, the absolute core of the Japanese men's singles, Zhang Benzhihe, swept 3-0. This game made the fans feel excited. Looking at this game, Xue Fei's mentality was very good, he made few unnecessary mistakes, and the quality of the board was very high. It has to be said that Xue Fei made great contributions to the national men's table tennis team in this event!
It is worth mentioning that Xue Fei was not qualified to participate in this competition. After all, the championship game is a higher-level event under the World Table Tennis Federation (WTT). There are 32 players in both men and women's singles, and Xue Fei, who ranks 45th in the world, will not be invited to participate (unless he obtains a wild card).
However, on September 8, the day before the start of the game, German star Ocharov suddenly announced that he would withdraw from the game due to injury. Xue Fei was lucky enough to qualify for the substitute. Perhaps Zhang Benzhihe was quite depressed at this time. Facing the substitute of the Chinese table tennis team, Xue Fei was so good!
According to the event schedule, the number of games on the evening of September 11 will be held. Five games will be held (3 men's singles and 2 women's singles). The detailed schedule is shown in the chart below. National table tennis players Wang Yidi and Wang Chuqin will reach the quarterfinals of singles!
The men's and women's singles 1/8 finals were the first to end one game. Chinese Taipei star Lin Yunru defeated French star Simon Gotts 3-1 and advanced to the men's singles quarterfinals first!
Chinese table tennis player Wang Yidi was out in an upset, losing to Puerto Rican star Adriana Diaz 2-3, and missed the women's singles quarterfinals. Looking at this game, Wang Yidi was eventually reversed by Diaz 12-1 with a big score of 1-0, 2-1, and 9-7 in the decisive game. Wang Yidi really shouldn't have lost like this.
The second 1/8 final will be held next, with national table tennis player Wang Chuqin against Danish player Grote. The winner of this game will compete with Lin Yunru for a ticket to the men's singles semi-finals.
Wang Chuqin is 25 years old, second in the world in men's singles. In the first round of the men's singles, this competition defeated the 18-year-old Japanese star Matsushima Hirokazuma in the men's singles 3-1, and his overall condition is still very good. Wang Chuqin's singles schedule in 2025 is as follows:
Wang Chuqin lost to his teammate Liang Jingkun 3-4 in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles semi-final in early February, and lost only 2 points in the final game 10-12;
