Brazil on the 11th (Korean time). WTT Contender is a professional tour tournament organized by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).
However
it is at a lower level than the WTT Champions or WTT Star Contender tournaments.

The Shin Yubin-Lim Jong-hoon pair were disappointed to finish runners-up at Contender Doha in March
Star Contender Bangkok in April
and Contender Tunis in August.

The two will also be aiming to win the men’s and women’s doubles.
World No. 11 Shin Yubin and Jeon Ji-hee will reach the women’s doubles final and try to win the double title.

The pair of Shin Yu-bin and Jeon Ji-hee defeated the Choi Hyo-joo-Kim Na-young pair at the previous Contender Lima tournament and are on an upward trajectory after winning the women’s doubles silver medal for the first time in 9 years at the 3 World Table Tennis Championships in May.

on the other hand
received a disappointing result card in the men’s and women’s singles.
In the men’s singles quarterfinals, Seungmin Cho (No. 9, Samsung Life Insurance) and Jang Woo-jin (No. 1, Mirae Asset Securities) were knocked out by Japan’s Sora Matsushima and Matthias Falk (Sweden), respectively.
Lee Eun-hye (No. 2, Korean Air) and Kim Na-young (No. 14)
who reached the top eight in the women’s singles
were also eliminated after losing to Burna Takahashi (Brazil) and Linda Berström (Sweden)
respectively.
