the chinese table tennis team sent 9 players to compete in this tournament. on the first day, 4 of them won. sun yingsha defeated tian zhixi 3-0 and won 11-1 in the third game. wang manyu defeated szokos 3-1 and continued her unbeaten record against the romanian star. liang jingkun defeated li yuanzhang 3-0 and lin gaoyuan swept asar 3-0, achieving 8 consecutive victories against egyptian players.

on the second day of the competition, chen xingtong played at 12:10 noon to compete with hirano miu for the top 16. chen xingtong is ranked 6th in the world, 27 years old this year, right-handed, and has a 74% win rate in wtt this season. she is good at defense and counterattack, fast pace, tight connection, varied serves, and strong forehand. hirano miu is ranked 12th in the world, won the world cup women's singles championship in 2016, and defeated ding ning, chen meng, sun yingsha and other national table tennis players. chen xingtong must be fully prepared and cannot take it lightly.

wang yidi will play at 15:45. the world no. 4 of china's table tennis team can play fast, control the rhythm, and is good at catching the opponent's intentions when receiving serves, but her performance in foreign matches is poor. however, zhang mo's limited strength makes it difficult for him to cause trouble, so he is optimistic that wang yidi will pass easily.

world no. 1 wang chuqin will make his first appearance after the olympics at 18:30, playing against hong kong star wong chun ting. wang chuqin won the gold medals in the mixed doubles and men's team at the paris olympics, but was eliminated in the first round of the men's singles by moregaard and was eliminated in the top 32, which has been questioned. if wang chuqin wants to prove himself, he must play well on the court. in this tournament, there is no fan zhendong and ma long to support him, so he can only rely on himself. will he still drag the team down?
