16 top table tennis masters gathered in Xinxiang, Henan to compete for the men's singles championship. Wang Chuqin and Zhang Benzhihe were more skilled and reached the final. Judging from the performance of the two in this competition, they deserved their reputation in the final. Wang Chuqin showed his outstanding competitive state. He won three consecutive victories, defeating Qiu Dang , Moregard and Malone . In the semi-finals, he narrowly defeated his teammate Malone 4-3. Zhang Benzhihe was in a crazy mode, defeating Francesca, , Boer and Ocharov respectively in three rounds of knockout matches. In this competition, Zhang Benzhihe eliminated three German players in succession and won 10 games in a row, and in the final against Wang Chuqin, this was his first time in Xinxiang to compete with the national table tennis player.
So, in the World Cup final, Wang Chuqin or Zhang Benzhihe, who has a greater chance of winning? The answer is Wang Chuqin. Judging from the historical record of the confrontation, the two sides have lost 4 games in the past 6 matches and only won 2 games. The two had their first conversation in at the 2018 Youth Olympics, when Wang Chuqin defeated Zhang Benzhihe in the men's singles final, with a score of 4-1. The second time we met was also in the Youth Olympic Games . At that time, Wang Chuqin lost to Zhang Benzhihe with a score of 1-3, but in that final, the national table tennis team won the championship.
In 2019, Wang Chuqin and Zhang Benzhihe met three times. The first time was in Korea Open . At that time, in the quarterfinals, Wang Chuqin eliminated his opponent with a score of 4-2.

The last encounter between the two sides was in the 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships. At that time, the national table tennis team encountered the Japanese team semi-finals. At that time, Zhang Benzhihe played with a prestige and defeated Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong in succession. Among them, he won 3-1 against Wang Chuqin.
I hope Wang Chuqin will perform well in this final and defeat Zhang Benzhihe. Once the Japanese players win, they will definitely be full of confidence. It will be more difficult for the Chinese athlete of the Japanese table tennis team to limit the Japanese table tennis team in the future.
