On February 23, Beijing time, the knockout round of the 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships team competition continued. In the men's team 1 4 finals, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3-0 and easily advanced to the semifinals. In the second set, "Big Head" Wang Chuqin won three games in a row after losing one game with his old opponent Zhang Ben Zhihe, and reversed his opponent 3-1.
In the team competition of the 2024 World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Chinese men's team sent the world's No. 1 Fan Zhendong, "Grand Slam" Ma Long, "Big Head" Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan to play. In the group stage, the Chinese team won the first place in the group with 4 3-0.
In the men's team 1 8 finals, the Chinese team defeated the Romanian team 3-0. Among them, Wang Chuqin scored 11-1 in the match with Oveidou Ionescu. In the men's team 1 4 finals, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3-0, and Wang Chuqin reversed Tomokazu Zhang 3-1 in the second set.
Wang Chuqin has achieved very good results in the second half of 2023, first winning the men's team championship at the Pyeongchang Asian Championships with the team, including the men's team 1 4 finals, in the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, in the first set, Wang Chuqin swept Tomokazu Zhang 3-0.
It is a little regrettable that after Wang Chuqin defeated Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto 3-0 in the Asian Championships, he was reversed by Japan's Yutai Tanaka 2-3 in the first round of the men's singles competition, which is very important.
And Wang Chuqin himself was extremely depressed, such a performance made him hold back his strength to prove himself in the subsequent Asian Games. And Wang Chuqin also became the biggest winner in the Asian Games table tennis field with a record 4 championship results in men's team, men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles.
It is worth mentioning that in the men's team group stage of the Asian Games, Wang Chuqin also scored 11-0 in the second round. This year is the Olympic Games, and the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, which opened the year, is undoubtedly a rehearsal for the Paris Olympics.
