on september 13, beijing time, the 2024 wtt macau championships has ended its fourth day of competition. the main theme of this match day was upsets. first, the chinese table tennis team suffered its first defeat and lost its first foreign match. that is, lin gaoyuan lost 1-3 to gao chengrui. what is even more surprising is that all five seeded players were eliminated on this match day, namely, men's singles third seed lin gaoyuan, fourth seed zhang benzhihe, sixth seed francesca, women's singles sixth seed ito mima, and eighth seed diaz.

in the men's singles, the biggest upset was lin gaoyuan's 1-3 loss to gao chengrui. lin gaoyuan was the no. 3 seed of the tournament and showed good competitive form in the first round. however, facing the young player gao chengrui from chinese taipei, lin gaoyuan made too many mistakes and gao chengrui played above his level. lin gaoyuan seemed to be out of his depth and missed the men's singles quarterfinals. lin gaoyuan's loss meant that the chinese table tennis team suffered its first defeat and also lost its first foreign match in this tournament.

the fourth seed of the tournament, zhang benzhihe, fought hard for 5 games, but was reversed in the final game after leading 5-2. he lost 2-3 to the young player lin shidong of the national table tennis team and also missed the quarterfinals. zhang benzhihe has tried very hard, but his shortcomings are obvious. his lead will fluctuate, as if he can't play when he is ahead, and he is ultimately unable to recover. in addition, the sixth seed of the men's singles, francesca, also fought hard for 5 games, but lost 2-3 to the korean player cho dae-sung and was eliminated.

after the three seeded players were eliminated, the men's singles quarterfinals were decided. the quarter-final matchups are: wang chuqin vs zhao dacheng, lin shidong vs lin yun-ju, moregaard v gao chengrui, qiu dang vs liang jingkun.

two seeded players were also eliminated in the women's singles competition, namely the sixth seed mima ito and the eighth seed diaz. mima ito made too many backhand mistakes and suddenly fell into a slump. she failed to win a game against zhu qianxi and lost 0-3. after missing the paris olympics, mima ito took a long break and gave herself a long vacation. obviously, her competitive state has not recovered, and her technical shortcomings are becoming more and more obvious. simply put, mima ito's offensive routine is too simple. once she makes too many mistakes, it is difficult to score.

the eighth seed, puerto rican star diaz, still couldn't shake the bitter opponent kihara miyu. she lost three games in a row with 7-11, 10-12, and 10-12. from the game score, it can be seen that diaz has tried her best, but missed key points in a row, which is very helpless. after ito mima and diaz were eliminated, the women's singles quarterfinals were also born. the specific matchups in the quarterfinals are: sun yingsha vs. zhu qianxi, chen xingtong vs. zhang ben miwa, kihara miyu vs. wang yidi, zheng yijing vs. wang manyu.

the next fifth day of competition will be the men's singles quarter-finals and women's singles quarter-finals. the seven players of the national table tennis team will go all out and strive for a complete victory!
