It started well for Sweden in the first match, where Linda Bergström beat Jieni Shao 3–0.

Then it waved back and forth;

Matilda Hansson lost, Filippa Bergstrand won, Linda Bergström lost and so it was 2-2 in matches before the fifth decisive match.

There, Portugal's Jieni Shao took command, defeating Matilda Hansson in three straight sets.

The day before, the Swedes lost against Romania with the same numbers, 2–3.

The Swedish table tennis men are currently facing England in the WC.
