CCTV-5+ is currently broadcasting the men's singles quarterfinal match of the WTT Chongqing Championship between Wang Chuqin and Matsushima Teruku.

This match follows a best-of-seven format, and the first game is currently being played with the overall score tied at 0-0.

Who will win this match and advance to the semifinals? I think it will be Wang Chuqin.

1. Their head-to-head record shows Wang Chuqin with 4 wins and 1 loss. He narrowly won 4-3 in their most recent encounter at the 2025 Hong Kong Finals, giving him a clear psychological advantage.
2. Wang Chuqin is currently ranked No. 1 in the world with a significant lead in points. His opponent Matsushima Teruku, ranked No. 8 globally and in good form, still has an overall skill gap compared to Wang Chuqin.
3. This best-of-seven match favors Wang Chuqin's endurance and sustained play, allowing him to better control the pace. If Wang Chuqin strictly manages the early exchanges and short balls, and withstands his opponent's aggressive start, he can avoid being drawn into backhand battles.
4. Wang Chuqin's probability of winning and advancing exceeds 80%. My personal predictionis Wang Chuqin defeating Matsushima Teruku 4-0 or 4-1. What do you all think?
