At 23:00 on the evening of February 20th, Beijing time, the Busan World Table Tennis Championships ended the men's team draw ceremony. The result was something unexpected, that is, China and Japan will face off in advance. Japan encountered a draw, and will soon face China after the quarterfinals. When they met, the South Korean team was in the 2/4 zone and China and Japan were in the top half. Strong European teams such as France, Germany, Sweden and Portugal are all gathered in the bottom half. The specific draw table is as follows:

1/4 area: China, UK vs Romania, Hong Kong China vs Austria, Japan

2/4 area: Slovenia, Hungary vs Denmark, Kazakhstan vs India, South Korea

html area 03/4: France, Czech Republic vs Poland , Croatia vs Brazil, Portugal

4/4 Zone: Sweden, Serbia vs Chinese Taipei, Singapore vs Iran, Germany

It is not difficult to see from this draw that the opponents of the Chinese team in the 1/8 finals of Zone 1/4 are the winners of the United Kingdom and Romania. If they win, they will meet the Japanese team in the quarter-finals, provided that Japan wins the winner of Hong Kong, China and Austria.

Before the game, Zhang Benzhihe once said in an interview with the media that his goal was a medal. Now it seems that if he meets the Chinese team, the outcome will be unpredictable. Unless Tomokazu Hari can defeat Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin in succession like he did at the 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, and Hayasuke Togami will also have to score a point. The Sino-Japanese war will be staged in advance this time.

2/4 The Korean team and the Slovenian team are both good. Zhang Yuzhen and Lin Jongxun play at home, but Slovenia's Dako is also very strong, and other countries also have certain strength. South Korea has hope of advancing to the quarterfinals, and the semifinals are also difficult.

3/4 The French team with brothers Felix Lebrun and Alex Lebrun and Simon Gautz has the best hope of advancing to the semi-finals. Of course, Portugal is also good in strength, and Brazil's lack of famous player Hugo still affects their strength, but overall, France has the best hope of advancing to the semi-finals.

I feel that the competition in Zone 4/4 is the most intense. The Swedish team with Moregard, Falk and Carlberg and the German team with Ocharov and Francesca are the favorites to compete for the semi-finals. Chinese Taipei and Iran I also have a certain level of strength, and I feel that competition in this area is the most intense.

The Chinese men's and women's teams both ranked first in the group stage and received a bye in the first round. There is no game this morning, they will start playing after 16:00 in the afternoon. The specific schedule of the 1/16 finals this morning and noon is as follows:
