(Central News Agency, Taipei, May 2, Reporter Li Jian-zhong) In the ITTF World Table Tennis Team Championships held in London, UK, the Taiwan men's team lost their first match against France 0-3 today, with Lin Yun-Ju not playing.
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Table Tennis Team Championships saw the Taiwan men's team send Lin Yun-Ju, Feng Yi-Hsin, Kuo Kuan-Hung, Hung Ching-Kai, and Hsu Hsien-Chia. The women's team consisted of Cheng I-Ching, Yeh Yi-Tien, Peng Yu-Han, Chen Szu-Yu, and Wu Ying-Hsuan.
Since both the Taiwan men's and women's teams are among the 8 teams in the first division, they will both advance to the Round of 32 knockout stage. The preliminary round results will only affect their seeding in the knockout stage. The Taiwan men's team is in the same preliminary group as France, Japan, and Germany.
In the first point, Taiwan's men's team sent young player Kuo Kuan-Hung to face France's "Glasses Brother" Alexis Lebrun, losing 8-11, 8-11, 6-11.
In the second men's singles match, Taiwan's Feng Yi-Hsin faced "Glasses Brother Jr." Felix Lebrun. Feng lost the first two games 8-11, 7-11, but in the third game, after trailing 6-7, he staged a 5-1 run to win 11-8.
Unfortunately, in the fourth game, Feng Yi-Hsin could not withstand his opponent's fierce attack, falling behind 1-6 at the start and eventually losing 5-11.
In the third point, Hsu Hsien-Chia faced Simon Gauzy and also lost 8-11, 8-11, 7-11, confirming their 0-3 defeat in the first preliminary match. (Edited by Hsieh Ya-chu) 1150502
