And the players of the South Korean team also performed well. In the mixed doubles event, Zhang Yuzhen and Tian Zhixi, as well as Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin, have all achieved good results and shown strong strength. In the Women's Singles and Men's Singles events, Tian Ji-hee, Lee Si-win, Kim Na-young and Shin Yu-bin will also be key forces in the finals for South Korea.

The record of the national table tennis players and the tasks of the competition will determine the direction of this final. The strength of the South Korean team should not be underestimated. In this final, whoever can play well will have the potential to be the ultimate winner. The final result will be revealed at the last minute of the match, when we will witness a wonderful match, whether it is the national table tennis team or the Korean team, it will bring us a wonderful match. There are many contradictions in the lineup arrangement of the Korean table tennis team. Tian Zhixi and Lim Jong-hoon have the highest singles win percentages in the team, while they also performed well with their respective partners in doubles.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Lim Jong-hoon and Tian Zhixi are indispensable in the men's doubles and in the women's doubles. However, in Mixed Doubles, the rules require that only one pair of players be fielded, which means that singles players must give up their place in Mixed Doubles to the player with the next highest winning percentage. For South Korea, three doubles matches are crucial if they want to win against China, and the singles match becomes an opportunity to "steal points". Therefore, the ideal lineup for the Korean team should be: Mixed Doubles (Lim Jong-hoon, Shin Yu-bin), Women's Singles (Tian Zhixi), Men's Singles (Jang Woo-jin), Men's Doubles (Lim Jong-hoon, Ahn Jae-hyun), Women's Doubles (Tian Ji-hee, Shin Yu-bin). The corresponding lineup of the Chinese team is: mixed doubles (Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha), women's singles (Wang Manyu), men's singles (Ma Long), men's doubles (Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong), women's doubles (Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha). Such a lineup arrangement not only makes full use of the strength of the players, but also takes into account the requirements of the rules of the game. The consistency and winning ability of the mixed doubles match made Lim Jong-hoon and Shin Yu-bin the obvious choice. In the singles competition, the strength of Tian Zhixi and Zhang Yuzhen also made them the mainstay of the team.
In the doubles match, the tacit cooperation and steady performance of Lim Jong-hoon and Ahn Jae-hyun, as well as the tacit cooperation of Tian Zhixi and Shin Yu-bin, also won a lot of points for the Korean team. In contrast, the Chinese team's corresponding lineup is similarly well thought out. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's tacit cooperation and strength in the mixed doubles competition should not be underestimated, while Wang Manyu and Ma Long's performances in the singles competition are equally consistent. In the men's and women's doubles competitions, the cooperation and strength of Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, as well as Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, also won many valuable points for the Chinese team. In general, both teams have fully taken into account the characteristics and rules of each game in the lineup arrangement, and strive to achieve the greatest advantage in the game. This match is destined to be a tight contest with both sides going all out to get the win.
