DOHA, May 18 (Xinhua) -- China's world No. 2 Wang Manyu said she would share insights with teammate Kuai Man after her 4-1 victory over a Polish teenager at the table tennis worlds here on Sunday.
Chasing her second world championship singles title since 2021, Wang dropped the fourth set but won her opening singles match against 19-year-old Zuzanna Wielgos 11-3, 11-6, 11-4, 11-13, 11-4.
"She played way better than what she did in videos that I have collected," said Wang. "Her offensive is of high quality. Unlike Asian players who are usually good at top-spin attacks, she uses flat shots and backhand flicks more often. I will let Kuai Man know about her style."
Wang and Kuai are set to face Wielgos and Katarzyna Wegrzyn in their women's doubles opening match later in the day.
Wang noted that she has felt increasingly confident since the Chinese team concluded its two-week training camp in Chengdu on May 8.
"I am feeling better day by day," she said. Enditem
