Lee Sang-soo, who was ranked sixth in the world in the round of 32 and showed off his unshakable skills by turning France's proud top-ranked Felix LeBrigg 3-2 after a close game, showed off his unshakable skills in the home turf. Düsseldorf World Championship bronze medallist'Lee Sang-soo is one of the most prolific Korean top-ranked players with his powerful drive. He has been at the top for the longest time among players born in the 1990s with more sincere efforts, decent personality, and good skills than anyone else. Despite consistently maintaining his best skills on international stages such as the Busan World Championships and leading the podium in Korean men's table tennis, he returned the Taegeuk mark on his own for the growth of his juniors at the end of last year, but proved that he is still a "world class" with his rusty skills on a spring day. Lee Sang-soo will compete with the winner of the round of 16 Dmytrich Opcharov-Lingao Yuan on the 5th to advance to the semifinals.
