The China Smash table tennis tournament in Beijing is progressing through its later stages. Brazilian player Hugo Calderano has advanced to the semifinals. After reaching the round of 16 with straight-set victories over South Korea’s An Jaehyun and Germany’s Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Calderano defeated Germany’s Patrick Franziska 3-0 (11/2, 11/5, 11/7). In the quarterfinals, Calderano defeated world number two Félix Lebrun 4-1 (9-11, 11-9, 12-10, 12-10, 11-9). The victory serves as significant revenge for Calderano, who previously lost to Lebrun in the bronze medal match at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
