In the quarter-finals, Hayasuke Togami will face off against Swedish star Moregaard, a silver medallist at the Paris Olympics. Once he succeeds in challenging a strong opponent, Hayasuke Togami will win his first men's singles medal at the World Championships. Elsewhere, World No. 1 will face Liang Jingkun in a Chinese derby in the quarter-finals. Brazil's Calderano, who won the men's singles World Cup in April, will face South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun, who also plays in the T-League. World No. 2 Wang Chuqin is going to meet Chinese Taipei's brother Lin Yunru.
The men's singles quarterfinals of this World Table Tennis Championships will be held on the 23rd Beijing time. According to the official WTT website, Lin Shidong, the world No. 1 and one of the favourites to lift the St. Bride Cup in Doha, has been the most in-form player for the past eight months, reaching incredible heights in the WTT series. This is Lin Shidong's first career in the men's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships, and when the dust settles, will this be the debut of his dreams? And Wang Chuqin, who has returned to the World Table Tennis Championships, is ready, and he will do whatever it takes to chase the glory of glory. Two years ago, Wang Chuqin won the men's singles runner-up at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, and this time he desperately wants to finish with a better result. In recent years, Liang Jingkun has been very close to the podium of the World Table Tennis Championships, and he is looking forward to building on the three consecutive World Table Tennis Championships men's singles bronze medals in 2019, 2021 and 2023.
