The next day was still a mix of singles round-robin matches interspersed with doubles and mixed doubles rounds. Shasha didn't have such an easy time today, losing one of her six matches to Wang Yidi and her good friend Yangyang. Wang Chuqin only lost one out of six matches, falling to his groupmate Xu Xin. However, the two of them fared reasonably well in their mixed doubles match that evening, advancing through the first round.
The two of them had no time to speak alone again, both of them exhausted and breathless. After resting for half an hour between rounds, they had to head back onto the court. Essentially, they didn't stop for a single moment the entire day.
By the afternoon of the third day, the entire singles round-robin tournament finally concluded. Shasha advanced to the main draw in second place for Women's Group A, while Wang Chuqin advanced in third place for Men's Group B. Their doubles and mixed doubles partnerships both also advanced to the quarterfinals.
