on september 12, beijing time, the table tennis wtt macau championship is about to usher in the fourth day of competition, and the complete list of the top eight will be born. at present, the three main players of the national table tennis team, liang jingkun, sun yingsha, and wang manyu, as well as sweden's moregaard and japan's zhang ben miwa have successfully passed the test. the remaining eleven qualifying places will be announced on the fourth match day.

according to the arrangement, an intra-team battle will break out between national table tennis players wang chuqin and xu yingbin on september 12. wang chuqin may not be able to win against his junior who once defeated him; lin gaoyuan, lin shidong, wang yidi and chen xingtong will play against gao chengrui (chinese taipei), zhang benzhihe (japan), bruna (brazil) and bergstrom (sweden) respectively. among them, the battle between lin shidong and zhang benzhihe is undoubtedly the most worthy of attention, and it is difficult to predict whether chen xingtong can overcome the difficulty of cutting the ball.

a total of nine chinese table tennis players participated in the wtt macau championship. they have won twelve consecutive foreign matches and all advanced to the top 16. liang jingkun, sun yingsha and wang manyu were the first to enter the top eight, defeating simon (france), kim na-young (south korea) and zhu yuling (macau, china) respectively. among them, liang jingkun won the most difficult victory. after leading simon 2-0, he lost two games in a row and finally won 3-2 with difficulty, winning only 2 points in the deciding game. as for sun yingsha and wang manyu, they both won 3-0.

as for foreign associations, swedish star and new olympic men's singles and men's team runner-up moregaard encountered some difficulties. in the round of 16, he reversed the english player pickford 3-1 after falling behind 0-1. as for japan's zhang ben miwa, she easily swept france's pavard 3-0 and also secured a ticket to the quarterfinals.

as mentioned earlier, on september 12, the national table tennis team will have its first civil war. the world's number one wang chuqin will face xu yingbin, who is one year younger than him, at 19:40 in the evening. although wang chuqin is far ahead in terms of results and rankings, he has lost to his opponent in the past. moreover, xu yingbin's civil war results are very impressive. he has defeated all the main players of the national table tennis team he has met, including ma long, xu xin, fan zhendong, wang chuqin, liang jingkun, and lin gaoyuan. he may not be unable to play the role of a dark horse again this time.

in terms of foreign matches, at 15:25 in the afternoon, lin shidong vs. zhang benzhihe is the focus of everyone's attention. the two are the best young players in china and japan, and lin shidong lost to him in the last match. although lin shidong has made rapid progress recently, for the coaching staff, whether he can beat zhang benzhihe is an important reference for measuring the players' foreign match ability, so the young players of the national table tennis team need to be fully prepared for this difficult match.

the match between chen xingtong and bergstrom (sweden) which started at 14:50 in the afternoon was also full of suspense, because before this, chen xingtong had lost to players who used chopping and long rubber playing styles many times. in july this year, she was leading 2-0 in the wtt bangkok star tournament but lost three consecutive games to the korean chopping player xu xiaoyuan. bergstrom also uses chopping style. although his strength is relatively weaker than xu xiaoyuan, he should not be underestimated. many fans are still worried about chen xingtong.

the other two foreign matches of the national table tennis team are scheduled for 14:15 in the afternoon, lin gaoyuan will face chinese taipei rising star gao chengrui, and wang yidi will face brazilian top player bruna at 20:15 in the evening. relatively speaking, it will not be very difficult for wang yidi to advance in this game, and lin gaoyuan may be affected, but overall he still has an advantage and should be able to defeat gao chengrui if he performs normally.

as for foreign associations, the following matches are scheduled on september 12: 12:30 zheng yijing (chinese taipei) vs olawan (thailand), 13:05 lin yun-ju (chinese taipei) vs carlberg (sweden), 13:40 kihara miyu (japan) vs diaz (puerto rico), 18:30 falk (sweden) vs qiu dang (germany), 19:05 ito mima (japan) vs zhu qianxi (south korea), 20:50 zhao dacheng (south korea) vs francesca (germany).

relatively speaking, the match between olympic champion mima ito and chinese rising star zhu qianxi may be the most eye-catching, but the other matches are also worth watching: athletes who can win two consecutive rounds in the wtt championship are well-deserved table tennis masters. no matter who wins or loses in the above games, it will not be particularly strange. let us wait together for the complete list of the top eight to be released!
