Please see below for details.

The men's singles in this site were hit again. The four non-main players in the first two rounds were completely wiped out and missed the quarterfinals. First, Huang Youzheng lost 0-3 to Aruna from Nigeria and Francesca from Germany 2-3 to Germany 2-3, Chen Yuanyu lost 1-3 to Lin De of Denmark and Zhang Yuzhen from South Korea 0-3 to South Korea; Japan's men's singles were even worse, and the four major players collectively played in the first round, among which Zhang Benzhihe lost 0-3 to Xue Fei, Togaki Junsuke from South Korea 2-3 to Wu Shicheng from South Korea, Yuzuka Dadun lost 1-3 to Grote from Denmark, and Matsushima Keikawa lost 1-3 to Wang Chuqin.

In the end, the remaining two main players of the national table tennis team advanced to the men's singles quarterfinals, namely Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong; Germany also passed the qualifiers, including Francesca and Duda; the remaining 4 places were divided by four associations, including Lin Yunru from Taipei, Lin De of Denmark, Zhang Yuzhen from South Korea, and Hugo from Brazil. The competition is indeed very fierce. In the subsequent 1/8 finals, neither German team had a civil war, but instead welcomed the impact of athletes from other associations. The detailed situation was as follows:

Wang Chuqin 4-0Lin Yunru

These two players are members of Shandong Weiqiao Xiangshang Sports Club in the Table Tennis Super League. They only fought side by side in the event not long ago and are more familiar with each other. In the international competition, Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Yunru nine times, but also lost to the opponent three times. Judging from the results and status in recent years, Wang Chuqin, who has won the men's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships, is undoubtedly better, and it is undoubtedly difficult for Lin Yunru to defeat the other side.

After the start of the game, Wang Chuqin had a great advantage in the first game, and continued to lead and passed the level easily 11-6, but was then continuously impacted by Lin Yunru. He fell 11-9 in the second game, and missed 2-6 in the third game while saving the opponent 1 game point, and finally won 14-12. He led 10-8 in the fourth game and was tied, but he finally locked the victory 12-10, thus winning the first and only men's singles top four seats in the national table tennis team.

Lin De 4-3Lin Shidong

In this site, Lin Shidong still participated in the men's singles event as the number one seed, scoring two consecutive 3-0 eliminating Chinese Taipei star Gao Chengrui and South Korean main player Wu Shicheng advanced, and then met Lin De, who broke through the national table tennis defense line. In the 1/8 final, Lin De reversed and defeated Chinese team star Chen Yuanyu 3-1. In addition, he had a record of defeating Wang Chuqin last year and was a relatively difficult opponent. Lin Shidong faced the test in this game, but he failed to withstand the pressure.

After the start of the game, Linde performed poorly in the first game and lost 8-11. He quickly hit his serve threat and won 11-5. Lin De lost again 7-11 in the third game, and then won 12-10 in the fourth game. After missing two points in the fifth game, he won 12-10 again, forcing Lin Shidong into a desperate situation. In the sixth game, Lin De was hit by a counterattack and scored only 2 points and was dragged into the final game. Then he was overtaken in the seventh game and then reversed again. He finally ended the battle 11-7, thus eliminating the number one seed Lin Shidong to advance.

Zhang Yuzhen 4-2 Duda

Zhang Yuzhen is an important opponent of the national table tennis team. She has broken through Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and others and has been famous for a long time; Du Da is a strong player who only started to rise last year. She is over 30 years old and has achieved a late bloomer, defeating Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and other Chinese teams. She is currently ranked 8th in the world and has greatly surpassed Zhang Yuzhen, who has fallen to 28th place. She has gained 2 wins and 1 loss against Zhang Yuzhen before making progress. This match is undoubtedly relatively more advantageous, but he failed to seize the opportunity.

After the start of the game, Zhang Yuzhen took the lead in the first game and took the lead 11-8, and then lost 9-11 and 8-11 consecutively and were reversed. After winning 11-7 in the fourth game, Zhang Yuzhen was held by Du Da in the fifth game, but he turned the tables 13-11 when he was behind 8-10 and 10-11. The balance of victory in the sixth game began to tilt towards the South Korean team. In the end, Zhang Yuzhen led 10-6 and scored directly, thus ending the battle 11-6, thus eliminating Duda into the semi-finals of the men's singles quarterfinals, and will face Wang Chuqin in the semi-finals.

Hugo 4-2 Francesca

These two players are athletes who have broken through the main defense of the Chinese team many times. Among them, Hugo beat Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Lin Shidong. Francesca has defeated Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan. As the runner-up of the men's singles runner-up of this year's World Table Tennis Championships and the winner of the World Cup men's singles champion, Hugo's current upward momentum is relatively strong, so he is generally more optimistic that he can defeat Francesca and advance, but there is no confidence in winning.

After the game started, the two continued to draw in the first game, Hugo led 10-9 and was overtaken by Francesca 10-11, but he still narrowly won 13-11. In the second game, Hugo saved 4 innings 5-10 and lost 9-11. In the third game, he missed 1 innings again and won 11-9. In the fourth game, Hugo started with a 6-0 run and finally passed the game easily 11-3. In the fifth game, Hugo briefly led and dropped his form, then collapsed 4-11. In the sixth game, Hugo fell behind 1-4 and successfully reversed, and then won 11-8 to eliminate Francesca, thus getting the last ticket to advance.

The next men's singles semi-finals and finals will all end on September 14, and this site event will also come to an end on this day. I hope Wang Chuqin can resist the pressure and win the championship successfully.
