In the Men’s World Cup, China’s Wang Chuqin was up against Darko Jorgic of Slovenia in a fiercely contested match. After Wang took the opening game, he was overwhelmed by Jorgic’s aggressive play, trailing 1-3 in games at one point. However, demonstrating remarkable resilience, Wang staged a stunning comeback by claiming three straight games, securing a 4-3 victory (11-4, 9-11, 7-11, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6, 11-8) to advance to the semi-finals. In the match of Brazil’s Hugo Calderano vs France’s Alexis Lebrun, Calderano proved to be the superior player, securing a 4-0 sweep (11-8, 11-7, 11-9, 11-8) to cruise into the semi-finals. In other results, Japan’s Sora Matsushima displayed a dominant performance to sweep world-ranked number two Truls Moregard of Sweden in straight games (11-7, 11-7, 11-8, 11-1). The encounter between Lin Yun-Ju of Chinese Taipei and Japan’s Tomokazu Harimoto began neck-and-neck in the opening game. Despite dropping the first game, Lin bounced back brilliantly, winning four games to clinch the match 4-1 (12-14, 11-5, 11-7, 11-9, 11-4) and secure his place in the semi-finals.

In the Women’s World Cup, defending champion Sun Yingsha of China faced a formidable challenge from the in-form Egypt’s Hana Goda. It was an intense battle, with several games pushed into deuce. At one point, Sun was down 2-3 in the match, but she demonstrated immense composure under pressure to take the final two sets, securing a 4-3 victory (13-11, 11-8, 14-16, 5-11, 10-12, 11-3, 13-11). Meanwhile, Wang Manyu clashed with Japan’s Honoka Hashimoto. In a back-and-forth encounter where both players traded the lead and claimed two games each, Wang eventually pulled away to secure a 4-2 victory (8-11, 11-8, 13-11, 8-11, 11-5, 11-9) to advance to the semi-finals. In another match, Chen Xingtong faced Korea Republic’s Shin Yu-bin. After dropping the opening game 8-11, Chen recovered to take the second game 11-9. However, she was unable to maintain the momentum, ultimately falling to Shin with a final score of 1-4 (8-11, 11-9, 10-12, 0-11, 9-11), ending her World Cup run in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Wang Yidi struggled to find her form, losing 0-4 (7-11, 9-11, 9-11, 8-11) to Germany’s Sabine Winter and failing to progress to the semi-finals.
