Therefore, we are at a disadvantage and must challenge our opponent to have a chance to advance. We hope Wang Yudong performs excellently and leads the team into the semifinals, although it will be very tough.
2. In the second match, South Korea faces Australia in a strong contest. However, Australia seems weak and might be overwhelmed by South Korea. What do you all think?
