Hey TT fans! 🏓 Ready for some epic table tennis action? China’s world No. 2, Wang Chuqin, lit up the ITTF World Cup in Macao with an unbeaten 4-0 win over Croatia’s Tomislav Pucar. After a tough 2019 encounter, Wang flipped the script with scores of 11-3, 11-5, 11-8, and 11-1, showcasing his refined backhand and fierce determination. 😎
With this stellar performance, he’s now the only Chinese player advancing to the last 16 without dropping a game and is set to face the USA’s Kanak Jha. In another exciting Group 1 match, world No. 1 Lin Shidong bounced back from a shaky start to beat Poland’s Milosz Redzimski 3-1 and will clash with Sweden's Anton Kallberg next.
On the women's side, Sun Yingsha edged past Chinese Taipei’s Chien Tung-Chuan 3-1, while Wang Yidi secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Portugal’s Shao Jieni—though an earlier loss kept her out of the next round. This tournament is heating up and proving once again why table tennis is one of the most thrilling sports around! 🔥
