Foreword
In recent times, the Macau Championship has attracted considerable attention.
The current situation is really intense. The main team of the national table tennis team unexpectedly lost, and the Japanese team suffered an unprecedented annihilation. What kind of ups and downs did this game go through? What other wonderful moments are worth recalling?

Substitute surprises show their power, Japanese table tennis player encounters Waterloo
In this Macau Championship, the Japanese men's singles sent four main players, including Tomokazu Kazumaki, Hiroshima Koto, Oto Toruki and Togaki Junsuke.
However, surprisingly, all four players were eliminated in the first round, setting the worst record for the Japanese team in recent international competitions.

The most shocking one is the performance of Japan's No. 1 player Tomokazu Kazumoto. As the world's top player, Zhang Benzhihe encountered a strong blockade from the Chinese table tennis substitute Xue Fei in this competition.
It is worth mentioning that Xue Fei was not originally on the roster. It was only after German star Ocharov withdrew from the competition due to injury that he got the opportunity to participate in the bench.

In the competition, 26-year-old Xue Fei showed a stable performance beyond his imagination.
In the first game, Xue Fei was lagging behind in the beginning, using his straight shot to restrain Zhang Benzhihe's pursuit position, chasing the score to 6, and then overtaken and won the first game 11-8.

In the second game, Xue Fei continued to maintain his strength. Although he was tied by Zhang Benzhihe for a time, he finally won another game 11-8. The competition in the third game became more intense, with the two sides tied 4, 6 and 8 tied, and the scores rose alternately.
At the critical moment, Xue Fei resisted the pressure and locked the victory 11-9, and completed an incredible 3-0 sweep.

This victory not only made great contributions to the national table tennis team in the first round, but also wiped out the Japanese team in the men's singles event in this site.
This victory makes people wonder: Will this substitute of the Chinese table tennis team continue to create miracles in the next game?

The first eliminated by the national women's singles
While the men's national table tennis team achieved an important victory, the women's team suffered an unexpected blow.
As the main player of the national table tennis team, Wang Yidi, faced Puerto Rican star Diaz in the 1/8 final, which should have been a sure win.

Historical confrontation records show that Diaz has lost all of her previous six challenges to Wang Yidi, and her world ranking has recently dropped to 22nd place.
In the first round, Diaz was almost eliminated by Austrian player Polkanova, and advanced with difficulty only 3-2.

After the start of the game, Wang Yidi won 11-7 in the first game, showing her due strength level. In the second game, Wang Yidi's condition declined and she lost 5-11.
In the third game, Wang Yidi quickly adjusted and easily won 11-4, leading 2-1 with a big score.

However, when victory seemed to be within reach, the game took a dramatic turn. In the fourth game, Wang Yidi was unstable in key points and lost 9-11.
In the decisive game, Wang Yidi once led 9-7, and was about to lock in the victory, but lost 3 points in a row and was won by his opponent. Although Wang Yidi stubbornly tied, she finally lost 10-12.

This 2-3 loss made Wang Yidi the first major national table tennis player to be eliminated in this competition. Then what is Wang Chuqin like here?

Wang Chuqin staged a "Jedi Counterattack"
Just while Wang Yidi encountered Waterloo, the core of the national table tennis men's singles Wang Chuqin also experienced a thrilling test.
As the world's second-ranked top player, Wang Chuqin played against Danish player Grote in the 1/8 final.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Chuqin seemed to be underestimating the enemy and lost 7-11 in the first game. At the beginning of the second game, he was in trouble and was once 5 points behind 1-6.
In a critical moment, Wang Chuqin showed the adjustment ability and psychological quality of the world's top players. After requesting a timeout in the middle, he scored 7 points in a row and reversed 11-7 to win the second game.

In the third game, Wang Chuqin completely recovered his form and took a 6-2 lead at the beginning. Although Grote once chased to 6-8, Wang Chuqin held his position and won another game 11-6, overtaking 2-1 with a big score.
In the fourth game, Wang Chuqin completely dominated the game rhythm and completely defeated his opponent's confidence with an astonishing 7-0 start. In the end, he easily locked the victory 11-2 and completed a 3-1 reversal.

This victory demonstrated Wang Chuqin's strength and psychological quality as the core of the national table tennis men's singles.
From 2025 to the present, Wang Chuqin has achieved outstanding results in many important events, including the Asian Table Tennis Cup, WTT Chongqing Championship, Doha World Table Tennis Championship and WTT American Grand Slam Championship.

With this victory, Wang Chuqin became the first national table tennis player to advance to the top 8 of the singles.
So can he continue his strong performance and continue to attack the championship? What is the current situation of the national table tennis team?

The Chinese table tennis team performed stably overall, but the challenges remained
In this WTT Macau Championship, the national table tennis team sent a total of 12 players to participate, of which 10 successfully advanced to the top 16, and the overall performance was remarkable.
In the men's singles, Lin Shidong, Wang Chuqin, Chen Yuanyu and Xue Fei advanced to the top 16; in the women's singles, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Kuai Man, Wang Yidi and Chen Yi all advanced.

It is worth mentioning that the national table tennis team performed particularly well in the women's singles, with all the 6 players participating in the competition advancing to the top 16. Although Wang Yidi was eliminated in the subsequent 1/8 finals, overall, the national table tennis women's team still maintains strong competitiveness.
In the men's singles, although Xiang Peng and Huang Youzheng were eliminated in the first round of the game, Xue Fei's performance of sweeping Zhang Benzhihe gave fans a great surprise. Wang Chuqin's reversal victory in the 1/8 final also demonstrated the tenacious fighting spirit of the men's team in the national table tennis team.

From the current situation, the national table tennis team is still expected to win the men's and women's singles championships in this competition. Especially in the men's singles, with the Japanese team being wiped out, the biggest obstacle to the national table tennis team winning the championship has been eliminated.
However, players from Germany, Denmark, South Korea and other countries still pose a certain threat. In the next game, the Chinese table tennis players will face even more severe tests.

Wang Chuqin will play against Lin Yunru in the semi-finals, which will be a double battle between technology and psychology. In the women's singles, it is also worth looking forward to whether Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu can continue their strong performance.
This competition also exposed the shortcomings of the national table tennis team in some aspects. Wang Yidi's handling of key points and mental adjustments still have room for improvement, and Huang Youzheng and Xiang Peng's performance in the first round of the game was not satisfactory...

Conclusion
As the game deepens, whether the national table tennis team can continue to maintain its strength and how the Japanese team will adjust and respond, these will become the highlights of the next game.
No matter what the result is, this Macau battle will become a wonderful chapter in the history of table tennis.
In the next game, let us continue to pay attention to the performance of the national table tennis players and look forward to their defense of the national ball honor at home in Macau and creating new glory.
