On July 31, in the men’s singles Round of 32 at the Paris Olympics, Chinese player Wang Chuqin was surprisingly eliminated by Sweden’s Truls Moregard. Following this, China has only one remaining male singles player in the tournament—Fan Zhendong.
In the preliminary round, Fan Zhendong easily defeated Ukraine’s Zahmutenko with a dominant score of 4-0, advancing smoothly to the Round of 32. And just today at 6:00 PM, Fan Zhendong will face Hong Kong’s Wong Chun Ting in the Round of 32.
In Fan Zhendong’s half of the draw, there are formidable opponents such as Lin Yung-peng from Chinese Taipei and Japan’s Tomokazu Harimoto. Will Fan Zhendong withstand the pressure and advance successfully, retaining the gold medal in men’s singles ping-pong for Team China?
