As the first rays of morning light gently awaken the skies over Beijing on January 15th, the first round of the men's singles competition at the 2025 WTT Regular Challenge Muscat Station has quietly come to an end. This time, the national table tennis team sent out 4 players, with 3 successfully advancing and 1 unfortunately eliminated, overall showing a commendable performance.

After losing the first set 8-11, he won three consecutive sets with scores of 11-3, 11-6, and 11-9, successfully defeating Manav Vikash Thakkar.
