ITTF Mens and Womens World Cup Macao 2025 Day 3 Live!
Written by I Dig Sports
In the mens singles action from Day 3 , Jeahyun An (Republic of Korea), produced a strong performance to win 3-1 (12-10, 11-8, 11-5, 9-11) against Omar Assar (Egypt).
With just one place separating both players on the world rankings, this was expected to be a tight match. But An began at full throttle, never allowing Assar to settle in to the match.
An, renowned for his relentless attacking prowess from both wings of the table, showcased peak performance, consistently driving Assar onto the back foot and compelling him into tough defensive scenarios. He was quick to grab his opportunities and booked his place in Stage 2.
Assar, the reigning ITTF African Cup champion, produced an underwhelming performance, clearly not looking to be at his best level. He managed to win the fourth game as a consolation, but it was too late by then.
Day 3 action begins with a quick win for Japanese starlet Miwa Harimoto, who beat Doo Hoi Kem (Hong Kong, China) in four straight games (11-7, 11-6, 11-5, 11-5).
A struggling Kem looked to be suffering from a wrist and forearm injury on her playing hand, visibly causing her distress. It was an unfortunate situation, since Kem would have fancied her chances, having lost in a close 2-3 encounter to Harimoto when they last met.
With this win, Harimoto successfully books her place in Stage 2 (knockout stages) of the tournament.
