On the evening of May 24, Beijing time, all the top eight men's singles of the table tennis WTT Taiyuan regular season were born, and the national table tennis team suffered a rout. At present, only Liang Jingkun and Zhou Qihao were left to advance. After Lin Shidong was defeated by the French player Alex Le Brun, the lower half of the region has been completely lost, and the Chinese team was therefore unable to win the championship and runner up.
A total of 15 men played in the national table tennis men's singles, of whom as many as nine were defeated in foreign competitions, and four were lost to their teammates. It was really a heavy loss. Whether Liang Jingkun and Zhou Qihao could join the semi-finals next was still doubtful. Even if they could, it was hard to predict whether the Chinese team would win the championship. What a wolf! See the details below.
Upper half
In the upper half of the men's singles, there were three national table tennis players who were promoted to the top 16. Zhou Qihao and Wen Ruibo took the lead in starting the civil war. The latter played a heroic role in the last round and eliminated the main Japanese Olympic player, Tsuzuka Dadeng, 3-1, but failed to laugh to the end when facing teammates. After five hard games, they were reversed. Zhou Qihao narrowly won 3-2 and advanced to the top eight (11-13, 11-5, 9-11, 11-6, 11-3).
Liang Jingkun, the No. 1 seed in the world ranking 4, met Lin Zhaoheng, a famous Hong Kong player in China, in the 1/8 final. The latter turned against Xu Yingbin, a national table tennis player, 3-2 in the last round, which was in full swing. However, Liang Jingkun was obviously stronger, and soon swept Lin Zhaoheng 3-0 easily to advance (11-5, 11-3, 11-4). It was very easy to win.
Zhuang Zhiyuan, the 43 year old world champion in Chinese Taipei, met Guan Wenhao from Hong Kong, China, in the last 16 matches, and won 3-0 (11-8, 11-6, 11-8); South Korean rising star Zhao Dacheng fell behind 0-2 for three consecutive games and reversed Matsushima Huikong (11-13, 9-11, 11-4, 12-10, 11-8) to send all Japanese men's singles players home.
According to the signing, Liang Jingkun will compete with Zhuang Zhiyuan next, which is a severe test for the main players of Guoping who have not performed well in recent foreign wars. I hope Liang Jingkun can withstand the pressure; As for Zhou Qihao, he will take on the responsibility of fighting against Korean players and compete with Zhao Dacheng for tickets to the semi-finals.
Lower half
In the lower half of the region, the national table tennis team suffered heavy losses. Finally, only two players reached the top 16, followed by another failure. The 18-year-old general Huang Youzheng lost 5 rounds of hard fighting, losing 2-3 to the powerful Korean opponent Li Shangzhu (11-7, 5-11, 11-9, 8-11, 6-11). The last round of national table tennis player Xiang Peng also lost 2-3 to Li Shangzhu, which shows that this opponent is really very powerful.
Lin Shidong, a 19-year-old star who ranked 11th in the world, met the French arch rival Alex Lebron. As a result, Lin Shidong failed to withstand the pressure and lost 1-3 (10-12, 11-6, 7-11, 4-11). The other side is worthy of being the strong enemy of the Foreign Association who defeated Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun.
Gao Chengrui, a Chinese taipei player, played steadily. After defeating Zhou Kai, the runner up in the men's singles of the National Table Tennis Championships, he won another match. Feng Yaoen, a Singaporean, was defeated 3-2 (9-11, 11-13, 11-6, 11-5, 11-7); Huang Zhenting, a famous Chinese Hong Kong player who defeated Lin Gaoyuan earlier, has been eliminated by American player Ma Jinbao 3-1 (12-10, 12-10, 5-11, 11-9).
So far, the second half of the national table tennis men's singles has completely lost. Next, Li Shangzhu will compete with Ma Jinbao, and Alex Lebron will face Gao Chengrui. From the strength comparison, South Korean and French athletes are more likely to be promoted, but they may not be popular with their opponents. Let's continue to wait and see!
