on september 11, the 2024 wtt macau championships concluded the first round of singles and five quarter-finals. liang jingkun and moregaard advanced to the men's singles quarterfinals, while wang manyu, sun yingsha and zhang benmiwa advanced to the women's singles quarterfinals.

men's singles

in the men's singles quarter-finals, the players' strength is quite close, and it is difficult for the winner to shut out the opponent. in the two games that have been completed, liang jingkun narrowly defeated simon goetz 3-2, and made a difficult comeback after falling behind 2-7 in the final game. moregaard defeated pickford 3-1, also after losing the first game 3-11, but then made a comeback to win.

women's singles

in the women's singles quarter-finals, the gap in player quality is still very obvious. the top ten players in the world are in a class of their own compared to other players. it is very difficult for players ranked lower to upset the top ten players in the world.

since returning from the paris olympics, sun yingsha has been participating in various activities and lacks systematic training. this is the best opportunity for her opponents to attack her. kim na-young did so. she had a good start of 4-1 in the first game, but was soon overtaken by 6-5. as long as sun yingsha recovers to a certain state, it will be difficult for her opponents to win a game. as expected, sun yingsha won the game in three straight games. wang manyu and zhang benmei also advanced 3-0, and the average loss per game was no more than 5 points, which shows how different their levels are.

september 12th is the fourth day of the tournament, where the remaining six men's singles quarter-finals and five women's singles quarter-finals will be played. six chinese table tennis players will play in five of the matches, including the "civil war" between wang chuqin and xu yingbin.

the detailed schedule is as follows:

12:30 zheng yijing vs olawan palanan

13:05 anton carlberg vs lin yun-ju

13:40 a. diaz vs. miyu kihara

14:15 lin gaoyuan vs gao chengrui

gao chengrui has a certain amount of drive and resilience, so lin gaoyuan needs to be prepared for difficulties and not accidentally fail.

14:50 chen xingtong vs linda bergstrom

swedish chopper bergstrom met chen meng in the second round of the women's singles at the paris olympics. she won the first game 11-8, but was then reversed by chen meng who won four consecutive games. chen xingtong should learn from the lesson, avoid chen meng's slow start, and not fall into the opponent's game rhythm.

15:25 lin shidong vs zhang benzhihe

in the eyes of many fans, tomokazu harimoto is a talented young man who constantly breaks the record of the youngest player in various competitions, but he is already 21 years old this year and is also facing the challenge of younger players.

the 19-year-old lin shidong was defeated by zhang benzhihe in the first round of the macau championship last year, and lost 2-3. this time he came in the best condition, but he didn't expect the draw to be so good. they were drawn into the same group again. it's time for lin shidong to make a comeback.

previously, many fans questioned the talent cultivation of the national table tennis team, believing that the young players of the national table tennis team were not as good as the players of the same age from foreign associations. if lin shidong can successively break through zhang benzhihe and lin yunru, the main competitors of the national table tennis men's team, it will prove that the young players of the national table tennis team have come to the top, and the talent cultivation of the national table tennis team is successful. we don't need to force the growth of seedlings, but let it happen naturally.

18:30 qiu dang vs falk

19:05 zhu qianxi vs ito mima

19:40 wang chuqin vs xu yingbin

as the world no. 1 and the top seed in men's singles, wang chuqin is definitely hoping to get off to a good start in his first tournament of the los angeles olympic cycle. after all, he was eliminated in the top 32 in the men's singles at the paris olympics, which was questioned. this time, the macau championships only has singles, so wang chuqin can only prove his true strength with results.

xu yingbin is only one year younger than wang chuqin. he has some strength, but his overall performance is not stable. he participated in the championship with a wild card this time, and it was his first time to participate in such a high-level event. he certainly hopes to go further, so that he can get more opportunities to participate in the future.

both of them had reasons to win. if it was the final, it would be fine. if they lost, they would be runner-up. however, they met early in the second round. xu yingbin defeated wang chuqin in the first round of the men's singles of the wtt regular challenge taiyuan station last year. can he continue to upset this time?

20:15 wang yidi vs takahashi bruna

wang yidi ranks fourth in the world, while takahashi bruna is only ranked 25th. there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, and the outcome of the game is no suspense.

20:50 zhao dacheng vs francesca

do you think that all chinese table tennis players can advance to the top eight?
