when liang jingkun was 2-0 ahead but was reversed by qiu dang, there were no chinese table tennis players in the lower half of the wtt macau championships men's singles, and moregaard, the double runner-up of the paris olympics, was the most favored. although moregaard participated in many celebrations after the olympics and did not have much training time, he showed confidence and a rare sense of relaxation in the game. the two silver medals in the olympics made moregaard's mentality more mature.

however, surprisingly, moregard missed the opportunity to face the young player gao chengrui from chinese taipei, and lost 5 points in the final moments of the deciding game. in the end, he was eliminated 2-3 after a hard fight of 5 games. the men's singles lower half ended up with gao chengrui and german player qiu dang competing for a place in the final. this was a surprising situation. no matter who wins in the semifinals, they will set a new record in their career. as for moregard's loss, some fans also predicted it, and even worried about him in advance. why is that?

many fans mentioned the curse of player meet-and-greet sessions. the macau championships also had player meet-and-greet sessions, where players came outside to sign autographs and take photos with fans. wtt limited the number of fans. the first player to attend the player meet-and-greet session at this year's macau championships was lin gaoyuan of the national table tennis team. after attending the player meet-and-greet session, lin gaoyuan lost 1-3 to gao chengrui in the match that day, and unexpectedly missed the men's singles quarterfinals.

then, chen xingtong and moregaard attended the player meeting together. chen xingtong played on the day of the meeting, but was defeated by zhang benmeiwa after winning the first game. so after lin gaoyuan and chen xingtong lost, many fans were worried about moregaard. as a result, the player meeting curse really came true for xiao mo. moregaard fought hard for 5 games, but lost to gao chengrui 2-3 and missed the men's singles semi-finals.

lin gaoyuan, chen xingtong, and moregaard all attended the player meeting, and they all had games on the same day. they all signed autographs and took photos for fans before the games, and then played the games. in the end, they all lost, so fans jokingly called it the player meeting curse. in addition to joking, wtt should also think about whether such an arrangement is reasonable. players have games on the same day. if they attend the player meeting, the time for rest and training will be reduced, which means that the normal preparation rhythm will be disrupted. although the reason for the loss cannot be attributed to this, it is indeed worth thinking about. perhaps wtt should have a more reasonable arrangement.

among the three players who were eliminated, lin gaoyuan and moregaard both lost to gao chengrui, so gao chengrui is undoubtedly the dark horse of this competition. next, he will face qiu dang, and he still has a chance to go one step further, that is, to enter the men's singles final of the championship for the first time. this young player has made great progress. together with lin yunru, it can be said that the strength of the chinese taipei men's table tennis team has improved and should not be underestimated!
