Four Chinese table tennis phenoms stormed into the quarterfinals of the WTT Champions Macao this week, delivering edge-of-your-seat matches in China’s Macao Special Administrative Region. 🌟 Lin Shidong, Wang Chuqin, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong all secured wins on Thursday, proving why China remains a powerhouse in the sport.
Lin Shidong clinched a nail-biting victory against Japan’s Tomokazu Harimoto (15-13, 9-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-8) in a five-game thriller. 🎯 After the match, Lin said: \"Our matches are always close – it’s like a video game boss battle every time!\" Next up? A showdown with Lin Yun-ju of the Chinese Taipei team.
Meanwhile, world No. 3 Wang Chuqin swept compatriot Xu Yingbin (11-7, 12-10, 11-9), setting up a Friday clash with South Korea’s Cho Dae-seong. If both Wang and Lin win their matches, they’ll face off in a semifinal that could break the internet. 🤯
With all eyes on the remaining matches, the question isn’t *if* a Chinese player will win – but *which one*. 🏆
