Korean men's and women's table tennis stars Jang Woo-jin (31, Se-ah), Shin Yoo-bin (22, Korean Air), and rising star Kim Na-young (21, POSCO International) advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Table Tennis (WTT) series singles.

Jang Woo-jin, ranked 14th in the men's singles, defeated France's Leo de Nordrest with a game score of 3-0 (11-4, 13-11, 11-9) in the round of 16 men's singles in Doha, Qatar, on the 17th (Korea time).

As a result, Jang Woo-jin will advance to the quarterfinals and compete with the 26th-ranked Dmitry Ovcharov (Germany) winner for a ticket to the semifinals from 0:45 a.m. on the 18th.

Jang Woo-jin is on a terrifying rise to the point where he came from behind to win 4-2 against world No. 2 Linxung in the men's singles semifinals of the WTT's first tournament Doha last week.

Jang Woo-jin, who won 11-4 from the first game against world No. 73 Nordrest, had a close deuce match in the second game, but won 13-11 and won 11-9 in the third game with a bold drive.

Shin Yu-bin, ranked 12th in the women's singles, came from behind to win 3-2 (2-11, 11-4, 9-11, 11-9, 11-5) in the women's singles round of 16 after a close match against Sofia Polchanova (Austria), ranked 30th.

He will face 14th-ranked Satsuki Odo of Japan in the quarterfinals. As we closed our schedule earlier than expected in the mixed doubles earlier, we are looking higher in the singles. The game is scheduled for 11:35 p.m. that day.

Kim Na-young, ranked 26th, also defeated 62nd-ranked Miyu Hirano of Japan 3-0 (11-4, 11-9, 11-3) in the round of 16, and will face another Japanese player, 29th-ranked Hitomi Sato, in the quarterfinals. It will be held at 11 p.m. on this day.

As everyone meets players who are lower than themselves, they are expected to advance to the next round.

The world's 76th-ranked Jang Woo-jin and Cho Dae-sung (Hwaseong City Corporation), who defeated the French group 3-0 in the men's doubles semifinals and reached the final, will compete with the 23rd-ranked Hwang Yoo-jeong and Wenluibo (China) group at 2:10 a.m. on the 18th.
