according to the arrangement, the chinese table tennis team will have an outside match on september 14th, where sun yingsha will block the 16-year-old japanese teenager zhang benmeihe, who just eliminated chen xingtong in the previous round and should not be underestimated! as for wang chuqin and lin shidong, wang manyu and wang yidi, there will be internal battles between the teams, and the dark horse gao chengrui from chinese taipei will challenge the famous german chinese player qiu dang. for more details, please see below.

a total of nine chinese table tennis players participated in the macau championships, including seven world champions and two young players. although it was not a full main lineup (fan zhendong, ma long and chen meng withdrew before the game), it was also the team with the most luxurious lineup among all participating associations. however, several famous players who had been resting recently unexpectedly collapsed.

as early as the 1/8 finals, lin gaoyuan was eliminated unexpectedly. after a hard fight of 4 games, he lost 1-3 to the 19-year-old chinese taipei rising star gao chengrui. then in the quarter-finals, liang jingkun was reversed despite leading 2-0 and having an absolute advantage. he eventually lost 2-3 to the german player qiu dang who had defeated him earlier this year. as for chen xingtong, he was also overturned by the 16-year-old japanese teenager zhang ben miwa after leading 1-0. he was eventually eliminated 1-3 and failed to advance to the semi-finals.

as for the results of the other quarter-finals, they were: wang chuqin defeated korean rising star cho dae-sung 3-0, lin shidong defeated chinese taipei star lin yun-ju 3-0, sun yingsha defeated korean player zhu qianxi 3-1, wang manyu reversed chinese taipei veteran zheng yijing 3-1, and wang yidi swept japanese main player kihara miyu 3-0.

this competition allowed fans to see the youthful vigor of the new generation of table tennis players. among them, the 19-year-old lin shidong first defeated japan's top player zhang benzhihe and then defeated lin yunru, defeating two major rivals of the national table tennis team; the 19-year-old gao chengrui showed his strength again after defeating lin gaoyuan, and eliminated the swedish olympic runner-up moregaard; the 16-year-old zhang ben miwa once again overturned the main force of the national table tennis team and brought down chen xingtong - five of the eight semi-finalists were born after 2000 (there are also 24-year-old wang chuqin and 23-year-old sun yingsha), it is true that the young are to be feared!

according to the arrangement, four strong matches will be held on the evening of september 14, and the final list of men's and women's singles will be born. the specific schedule is as follows:

18:30, wang manyu vs wang yidi;

19:15, qiu dang vs gao chengrui;

20:00, sun yingsha vs zhang benmihe;

20:45, wang chuqin vs lin shidong.

judging from the comparison of personal achievements and rankings, wang manyu, qiu dang, sun yingsha and wang chuqin are relatively better than their opponents. however, the athletes who have entered the semi-finals are in very good condition now. wang yidi, gao chengrui, zhang ben miwa and lin shidong also have every chance to advance: when two meet on a narrow road, the brave and the wise win. no one dares to say that he will win and his opponent will lose.
