World No. 12 "Silent Assassin" Lin Yunru

World No. 50 Pei Huan is the men's singles champion at last year's Oceania Championships, and he defeated world No. 33 Lu Wei in straight games in the first round of the "Australian Civil War". Lin Yunru, who reached the semifinals of the Singapore Grand Slam last year, also defeated Kazakhstan's Gerashmanko in three consecutive games in the first round.

Facing the unfamiliar Pei Huan, Lin Yunru did not encounter much resistance in the first two games, and easily won 11:6 and 11:4. Pei Huan let go in the third game and took an 8:3 lead, although Lin Yunru once chased 8:9, but then lost 2 points in a row and conceded 8:11.
