This after a 3–1 set victory over Englishman Liam Pitchford in the quarterfinals. The Swede won only three balls in the first set (3–11), but bounced back and won three straight sets (12–10, 11–6, 11–9) to secure advancement.

In the quarterfinals, the winner of Thursday's meeting between world number seven Lin Gaoyuan, China, and Kao Cheng-Jui, Taiwan, ranked 31st in the world, awaits.

Anton Källberg, Mattias Falck, and Linda Bergström play their quarterfinals on Thursday in Macao.

Möregårdh took Olympic Games silver in both the singles tournament and the team event, together with Källberg and Kristian Karlsson, last summer.
