On February 19, 2024, at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Chinese men's table tennis team successfully advanced to the next stage as the group leader. Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long swept their respective opponents respectively, and the Chinese team defeated Croatia 3-0 to end the group stage.
As the top seed, China performed well in this tournament, winning back-to-back victories over Belgium, Cuba and Hungary, and still showing strong strength against Croatia in this round. Although the Croatian team has good players Pucar and Gascini, they cannot resist the strength of the Chinese team in this competition.
Fan Zhendong won 3-0 against Pucar, Wang Chuqin easily beat Zelico, and Ma Long also won 3-0. The Chinese men's table tennis team advanced to the top 16 with a perfect record, showing the advantages of physical strength and team cooperation in the whole 10,000 fans incentive plan.
As the knockout stage is approaching, the Chinese team needs to be more prepared, because the level of opponents will be higher and higher. In the future, I hope to see the players make persistent efforts to face challenges together, and I believe that the strength of the team can cope with any difficulties.
