The world's top-ranked female and male paddlers, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin of China, both advanced to the semifinals at the 2024 World Table Tennis (WTT) Champions Macao on Friday, with Sun defeating South Korea's Joo Cheon-hui 3-1 and Wang smashing Joo's compatriot Cho Dae-seong 3-0.
Elsewhere in the women's singles quarterfinals, China's Wang Manyu beat Cheng I-Ching of Chinese Taipei 3-1 and Japanese teenager Miwa Harimoto won 3-1 against China's Chen Xingtong.
Sun, who needed four games to fend off Joo 11-6, 3-11, 11-6, 11-2, will face Harimoto in the semifinals on Saturday. Sun noted that as the semifinals adopt a best-of-seven format, it will test the players' endurance and be a very tough match, adding that she will give her all and enjoy the match.

Wang Chuqin said that despite his straight-game win, every game was crucial, and winning some key points had a positive impact on his confidence.
