The grouping list for the Singapore Grand Slam draw is as follows:
Zone 1: Sun Yingsha, Du Kaixun, Cui Xiaozhu, Shen Yubin, Shan Xiaona and Ishikawa Kasumi; Zone 2/4: Manyu Wang, Diaz, Yang Xiaoxin and Hayata Hina; Zone 3/4: Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Zhang Rui, Hirano Miwoo, Tian Zhixi, Seo Hyo won, Szocos; Zone 4/4: Chen Meng, Qian Tianyi, Fan Siqi, Ito Meicheng, Nagasaki Meiyou, Ni Xialian and Yuan Jianan.
Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, the main table tennis players in China, once again appeared in the same community, and only one of them made it to the semi-finals. It's really a pity. It is worth mentioning that Wang Yidi is the latest female table tennis player ranked third in the world, but the previous ranking is adopted in this grouping, so the third seed is still teammate Manyu Wang who has just been surpassed by her.
However, as far as the lottery is concerned, there is basically no difference between the treatment of the third and the fourth, so it has little impact. According to the arrangement, Chen Meng will meet Japanese player Nagasaki Meiyou in the first round, Qian Tianyi may meet Ito Meicheng in the second round, Fan Siqi will play in Ni Xialian in the first round, and Wang Yidi will also meet Szocos in the first round. These athletes are all high-level people from foreign associations.
