(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jung-chen, Taipei 6th) At the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Team Table Tennis Championships held in London, UK, the Taiwan men's team today, led by Lin Yun-ju, Feng Yi-hsin, and Kuo Kuan-hung, swept Denmark 3-0, successfully securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
The ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships has entered the knockout stage. The Taiwan men's team, based on the Nagoya Asian Games lineup, is led by the world number 7, 24-year-old "Taiwan's Ace" Lin Yun-ju, along with young talents Feng Yi-hsin, Kuo Kuan-hung, Hung Ching-kai, and Hsu Hsien-chia. After smoothly passing the match against Serbia yesterday, the Taiwan men's team today faced Denmark, striving to secure a ticket to the quarterfinals.
In this match, the Taiwan men's team started with Feng Yi-hsin. In the first singles match, he faced the 33-year-old veteran Jonathan Groth. Unexpectedly, Feng Yi-hsin was not in good form, losing the first two games. It seemed he might not be able to score the first point for the Taiwan men's team. However, Feng Yi-hsin launched a counterattack from the third game, not only tying the score at 11-7, 11-8, but also withstood the pressure in the decisive fifth game, completing a "comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2 victory" at 13-11.
The second singles match featured an "ace showdown" between Lin Yun-ju and world number 16 Anders Lind. Although Lin Yun-ju lost the first game 7-11, he gradually found his form, winning consecutively with 11-4 and 11-3. In addition, overcoming a deficit in the fourth game, he again won 11-9, helping the Taiwan men's team gain a match point advantage.
The 17-year-old rising star Kuo Kuan-hung, responsible for the third singles match, faced left-handed Tobias Rasmussen and demonstrated excellent dominance. Even though both sides won one game each after the first two games, Kuo Kuan-hung steadily secured victory with 11-7 and 11-6, thereby securing the quarterfinals spot for the Taiwan men's team. They will next face the winner of the match between Sweden and Croatia. (Editor: Lee Shu-hua) 1150506
