the men's singles top 8 is out! china occupies 3 seats, wang chuqin challenges lin shidong, and the 19-year-old young player challenges lin yunru. the 2024 wtt macau championships men's singles 1/8 finals have ended, and the men's singles top 8 is officially out. china occupies 3 seats, namely wang chuqin, liang jingkun, and lin shidong. in addition, lin gaoyuan and xu yingbin were eliminated in this round. in addition, after the elimination of japan's top player zhang benzhihe, the japanese men's team has been annihilated.

in this macau championship, the chinese men's table tennis team had a total of 5 players, namely wang chuqin, liang jingkun, lin gaoyuan, lin shidong, and xu yingbin. all 5 players of the chinese table tennis team passed the first round. in the second round, liang jingkun took the lead and played against the french star simon. in this game, liang jingkun lost two games in a row when he was leading 2-0, and fell behind in the deciding game. fortunately, liang jingkun withstood the pressure, completed the reversal at the end of the game, and finally won with a total score of 3-2. lin gaoyuan won the first round easily, but in the second round, he was passive throughout the game against the young player gao chengrui from chinese taipei. lin gaoyuan, who was unable to find his form, eventually lost with a total score of 1-3. at the same time, lin gaoyuan also became the first main player of the chinese table tennis team to lose a foreign war in the los angeles olympic cycle. for lin gaoyuan, this defeat may affect his appearance frequency in international competitions in the future. the top seed wang chuqin and his junior xu yingbin started a civil war. the strength gap between the two sides was still quite large. wang chuqin quickly won 3-0 and successfully advanced to the top 8.

the focus of the second round is undoubtedly the 19-year-old lin shidong against the japanese no. 1 zhang benzhihe. the two sides had played against each other twice before, and lin shidong lost 2-3. this time, the two met again and the game was also very intense. in the end, lin shidong withstood the pressure and completed revenge with a total score of 3-2, and sent the japanese team to an annihilation. at the same time, this was the first time that lin shidong defeated zhang benzhihe in his career. for lin shidong, this victory is of great significance. it not only means that he has passed the hurdle of zhang benzhihe, but also proves that he has the strength to enter the main force of the national table tennis team. if lin shidong can make a breakthrough next, he may replace lin gaoyuan to enter the main force and get more opportunities to participate in the los angeles olympic cycle. in the next quarter-finals, wang chuqin will play against korean player zhao dacheng, lin shidong will play against lin yunru, liang jingkun will play against german star qiu dang, and moregod will play against gao chengrui.

judging from the matchup, wang chuqin is more likely to advance to the top 4. although zhao dacheng has certain strength, he is not a big threat to wang chuqin. qiu dang defeated liang jingkun in the finals held at the beginning of this year, so liang jingkun still needs to prepare for difficulties in advance. lin yunru has defeated the main players of the national table tennis team many times before, and his strength is still very strong. whether lin shidong can create an upset again is worth everyone's attention. if lin shidong can win, he may learn from wang chuqin. this article is original by xiao lizi, please do not plagiarize or copy.
