on october 2, the competition for the 2024 wtt china grand slam ended on the fourth match day of the main event. the top 16 of men's and women's singles, the top eight of men's and women's doubles, and the top four of mixed doubles were all produced.

in men's singles, six national table tennis players, ma long, liang jingkun, lin shidong, lin gaoyuan, xiang peng and zhou qihao, advanced to the top 16. xue fei, chen yuanyu and zeng beixun lost to their teammates, while wang chuqin and xu yingbin lost in foreign battles.

among the top eight men's singles seeds, only wang chuqin was eliminated, while hugo, felix le brun, tomokazu harimoto and other famous players all advanced.

in the women's singles, the main players and second-tier players of the national table tennis team worked together to remain undefeated in foreign battles. among the top 16 women's singles, national table tennis players hold 10 seats. the four players who broke through from the qualifying round to the main draw, liu weishan, fan siqi, wang xiaotong, and chen yi, all entered the top 16. he zhuojia, zong geman, and qin yuxuan showed no mercy to the "first sisters" of the foreign association, and they all defeated their opponents with a huge difference in points. the main players sun yingsha, wang manyu, and chen xingtong were not far behind and all advanced smoothly.

national table tennis women's singles players occupy most of the quota, and there are naturally many players eliminated from foreign associations. among the top eight women's singles seeds, apart from the national table tennis players, only mima ito and zheng yijing are left. two south korean players, seo hyo-won and kim na-young, were able to advance mainly because they have not yet met a national table tennis player.

in terms of men's doubles and women's doubles, 4 pairs of national table tennis teams advanced to the quarterfinals.

in mixed doubles, xue fei/qian tianyi "let two chase three" and reversed their teammates xiang peng/liu weishan. lin gaoyuan/wang yidi swept feng yaoen/chen siyu 3-0, and finally the two national table tennis pairs met in the first half of the semi-finals.

lin shidong/kuiman played solidly and swept the romanian combination szokos/ionescu 3-0, but they failed to wait for their teammates in the semifinals. yuan lizen/shi xunyao took the lead twice, but lost 10-12 in the fourth game, and even lost 12-14 in the decisive game. in the end, they lost to carlson/c. carlberg with a big score of 2-3. the national table tennis team was defeated by the swedish team, which also prevented the national table tennis team from winning the semi-finals.

october 3rd is the fifth match day of the main tournament. there will be singles 1/8 finals, doubles quarter-finals, and mixed doubles semi-finals. national table tennis players will participate in 20 games, including 8 "civil war" games.

the schedule for national table tennis players on october 3 is as follows:

11:00 chen yi/xu yi vs pavard/diaz, huang youzheng/xu yingbin vs yuan lizen/xiang peng

11:35 sun yingsha vs liu weishan, chen xingtong/qian tianyi vs nagasaki miyu/kim naying

12:10 qin yuxuan/zong geman vs zheng yijing/li yuzhen

12:45 fan siqi vs mori sakura, wang chuqin/liang jingkun vs manash shah/taka

13:20 lin shidong vs anton carlberg, chen yi vs chen xingtong

13:55 xue fei/qian tianyi vs lin gaoyuan/wang yidi

18:00 sun yingsha/wang yidi vs du kaiqin/liu yangzi, lin gaoyuan/lin shidong vs gados/habesson

18:35 xiang peng vs felix le brun, he zhuojia vs zong geman

19:45 ma long vs lee sang-soo, wang xiaotong vs zheng yijing

20:20 qin yuxuan vs wang manyu, lin gaoyuan vs grote

20:55 lin shidong/kuiman vs carlson/c. carlberg

compared with intra-team games, foreign games can affect the hearts of fans more. if the doubles team is undefeated in foreign matches, then after the match day, the national table tennis players will compete in the mixed doubles finals and win the women's doubles semi-finals, locking in the "two crowns" in advance.

the national table tennis men's singles players will stage many focus foreign matches, such as lin shidong against anton carlberg, who eliminated lin yunru and aruna in succession. moreover, lin shidong is the only one left in the men's singles quarter. this is a good opportunity for him to prove himself. xiang peng also defends the 2/4 area alone and is about to meet felix lebrun, which will pose an even greater challenge. wang chuqin lost to danish player anders lind, and lin gaoyuan will meet another danish player grote, who defeated lin gaoyuan in the saudi grand slam. coming to the home court of the national table tennis team, i believe lin gaoyuan can win back a victory this time. malone lost to lee sang-soo in the team competition of this year's busan world table tennis championships. this time the two met again. malone, playing at home, will definitely not give his opponent another chance. in addition, the duel between zhang benzhihe and moregard is also very interesting.

there are 4 "civil wars" and two foreign games in the women's singles 1/8 finals. the foreign games are concentrated in the 2/4 area. wang xiaotong and fan siqi will experience the test. if they can successfully break through, the top eight women's singles national table tennis players will occupy 6 of them.

in your opinion, who among the national table tennis players has encountered the greatest challenge?
