on september 11, beijing time, the table tennis wtt macau championship is about to usher in the third day of competition, and the complete list of the top 16 and some of the top 8 players will be announced. the chinese team has won seven consecutive games and all the main players of the participating world champions have advanced. only two young players, lin shidong and xu yingbin, have not yet appeared. next, they will block germany's duda and chinese taipei world champion chuang chih-yuan respectively.

as for wang manyu, liang jingkun and sun yingsha, they will be the first to appear in the 1/8 finals, facing zhu yuling (macau, china), simon (france) and kim na-young (south korea) respectively. the match between zhu yuling, the former main player of the national table tennis team and current player of macau, china, and wang manyu, a former junior of the national team, is particularly noteworthy, while liang jingkun and simon will also face a test and need to be prepared! for more details, please see below.

in the first two days of the wtt macau tournament, the chinese table tennis players performed stably, winning seven games in a row and losing only one game, completely crushing their opponents. among them, wang manyu defeated szokos (romania) 3-1, liang jingkun defeated li yuanzhang (canada) 3-0, lin gaoyuan defeated omar (egypt) 3-0, sun yingsha defeated tian zhixi (south korea) 3-0, chen xingtong defeated hirano miu (japan) 3-0, wang yidi defeated zhang mo (canada) 3-0, and wang chuqin defeated huang zhenting (hong kong, china) 3-0.

as for foreign associations, japan's tomokazu harimoto, miwa harimoto and mima ito have advanced, while yoshimura masaharu, togami hayasuke and hirano miu were eliminated, and kihara miyu has not yet appeared; south korea has only cho dae-sung left in the men's singles, and zhu qianxi and kim na-young in the women's singles; sweden's three men's singles players, moregaard, carlberg and falk, all advanced, and each association has both joy and sorrow.

according to the arrangement, the last four 1/16 finals will be held during the day on september 11, namely 12:30 liu yangzi (australia) vs bruna (brazil), 13:05 lin shidong vs duda (germany), 13:40 kihara miyu (japan) vs batra (india), 14:15 xu yingbin vs chuang chih-yuan (chinese taipei).

at present, although both young players of the national table tennis team are facing challenges, lin shidong is under relatively less pressure. after all, his strength is already very strong, and his opponent duda is not considered a top player in foreign associations. as for xu yingbin, although he has had many impressive records before, his performance is not stable and he has failed many times in foreign wars. it is still unknown whether he can defeat the chinese taipei world champion chuang chih-yuan this time, and he needs to be fully prepared for difficulties.

after the top 16 are decided, five 1/8 finals will follow, namely 18:30 wang manyu vs zhu yuling (macau, china), 19:05 liang jingkun vs simon (france), 19:40 sun yingsha vs kim na-young (south korea), 20:15 moregaard (sweden) vs pickford (england), 20:50 zhang ben miwa (japan) vs pavard (france).

the match between wang manyu and zhu yuling is an important highlight of this competition. both of them are world champions trained by the national table tennis team, but now they belong to two different associations, which naturally attracts a lot of attention. however, judging from the performance in the first round, zhu yuling, who has been away from the court for three years, is obviously not as good as before. the match with polish player bayo was a close one. it may not be easy to pass wang manyu next.

so which athletes will advance on the third day of competition? please leave your predictions in the comments!
