The top four table tennis men's singles at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou are Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Zhang Yuzhen and Huang Zhenting.
1. Fan Zhendong
Fan Zhendong faced Zhuang Zhiyuan in the quarter-finals. Although Zhuang Zhiyuan caused some problems for the national table tennis team in the men's doubles event, he faced Fan Zhiyuan. In Zhendong, he did not gain any advantage. In the game, Fan Zhendong easily defeated Zhuang Zhiyuan and defeated his opponent with a score of 4-0. Although Zhuang Zhiyuan is an experienced veteran, he does not have much room to display in front of the young Fan Zhendong.
2. Wang Chuqin
As the star of hope of the Chinese team, Wang Chuqin’s performance before the Asian Games has always attracted much attention. In the quarter-finals, he faced Lin Jong-hoon. Although Lin Zhongxun defeated Wang Chuqin in last year's Asian Cup, the result of the game was unexpected. Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Zhongxun with a score of 4-0, without giving his opponent any chance.
3. Zhang Yuzhen
The match between Zhang Yuzhen and Zhang Benzhihe can be called a focus battle. Zhang Yuzhen fell into a passive situation at the beginning, losing three consecutive games, and was forced into a desperate situation by Zhang Benzhihe. However, Zhang Yuzhen struggled to win after the fourth game, and then almost failed to win the game in the fifth game. But at this moment, Zhang Benzhihe was suddenly injured. Although he insisted on fighting until the last moment, the situation had completely reversed. In the end, Zhang Yuzhen defeated Tomokazu Zhang moto 4-3, achieving a thrilling reversal.
4. Huang Zhenting
The match between Huang Zhenting and Lin Yunru was equally eye-catching. Lin Yunru, as the fourth seed in the competition, has consistently performed better than Huang Zhenting in recent years. However, Huang Zhenting lost a game at the beginning, but he quickly reversed the game by using his advantage as a left-handed horizontal player against a right-handed horizontal player. Although once tied by his opponent, Huang Zhenting finally decided the winner in the decisive game and advanced to the semi-finals with a thrilling 4-3.
