On December 10, Beijing time, the ITTF 2023 Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup is underway. At the moment, the second stage of the competition is coming to an end, so the World Cup winner is on the horizon. At present, the national table tennis and South Korea have won 5 consecutive victories, and the points are tied for first place. South Korea's five individual strengths are very balanced, and they have the strength to wrestle with the national table tennis.
Next, South Korea played against Germany, who was the second seed in the World Cup, but because of the absence of the main players Ocha, Bol, Han Ying, and Francesca, the overall strength was greatly reduced. In the first set, the German mixed doubles Meissner Winter played poorly, lost three games in a row, and lost to South Korean star Zhang Yuzhen Tian Zhixi with a total score of 6:11, 9:11, 9:11, and a total score of 0:3.
In the second set, Germany's Olympic silver medalist Shan Xiaona faced South Korean teenager Kim Na-young. The latter Kim Na-young is only 18 years old, and the South Korean coaching staff has hidden the main Shin Yu-bin, and it is still very bold to arrange Kim Na-young to play. In the end, Shan Xiaona lost three games in a row, 11:3, 11:6, 13:11, won three games in a row, with a total score of 3:0 and a clean sheet of Kim Naying, and the Korean women's singles lost 0:3.
In the third set, Germany's Walser faced South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun. The latter Ahn Jae-hyun is the third place winner of the world table tennis, in the absence of Qiu Dang, Bol, and Ocha, Walser became the main force of the German men's singles, and in the first game, Walser lived up to expectations and won the first game 13:11. In the second game, Ahn Jae-hyun pulled back a game 11:3. In the third game, Walser created a surprise, locking the victory 11:7, and defeating Ahn Jae-hyun, the third runner-up of the world table tennis with a total score of 2:1.
In this way, the World Cup men's singles was a big upset, and Ahn Jae-hyun, the third runner-up in the World Table Tennis tournament, lost 1:2. In the fourth set, Germany's Men's Doubles Meissner Walser faced South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun Lim Jong-hoon. There are many combinations to choose from in the Korean men's doubles, and each pair is very strong, so Ahn Jae-hyun and Lim Jong-hoon also won three games in a row, winning three games in a row with 11:4, 11:7, 12:10, and a total score of 3:0 to clean up the German men's doubles. Currently, South Korea is 7:5 ahead of Germany.
