The group of Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin will compete with the group of Ng Wing-ram (Hong Kong) and Yangji Liu (Australia) on the 9th to advance to the finals.
Jeon Ji-hee and Shin Yu-bin, who won the women's doubles title at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year and gave Korean table tennis a gold medal for the first time in 21 years, have continued to be in a good mood, winning this year's contender Doha and star contender Goa tournaments.
However, in the Grand Smash competition held in Singapore in March, he was eliminated from the quarterfinals, leaving a regret.
In the women's singles, the Korean player was "devastated" as Jeon Ji-hee (15th) was eliminated by a 0-3 (4-1111-115-11) loss to world No. 1 Sun Ying-sa (China) in the round of 16.
Except for Jeon Ji-hee, all other Korean players including Shin Yu-bin lost in the second round (round of 32).
In the men's singles, Jang Woo-jin (20th) advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-2 (13-11 11-6 6-11 12-14 11-4) victory over Eastern European powerhouse Darko Yorgic (17th, Slovenia).
Jang Woo-jin will play in the quarterfinals against France's "genius" Felix LeBrung (5th), who is considered a medal candidate for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
It is the second time that the two have a showdown. Le Brung won the first match, which took place in the quarterfinal match of Goa, last year, 3-2.
Cho Dae-sung (31st, Samsung Life Insurance), who won 3-2 (6-117-111 11-5 11-9 13-11) over Kwadri Aruna (19th, Nigeria), and reached the 9th round, will compete against China's Li Shindong (15th).
Cho Dae-sung also met with Lin once in Goa, a star contentor, last year and lost 2-3.
The Saudi smash is the grand smash competition that gives the most ranking points in the WTT.
