On November 12, Beijing time, the internal warm-up match of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships National Table Tennis continued. In a focus battle in the evening, The World Table Tennis Champion Chen Xingtong played against Yan Sheng of the men's team, which was a transgender battle. I have to say that the overall strength of women's table tennis is too strong, and it can only compete with the men's team to further stimulate the potential. Earlier, Sun Yingsha lost 3-4 to the 18-year-old sharpshooter of the men's table tennis second team, and then Chen Meng/Qian Tianyi, Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu won against the mixed doubles combination. In this game, whether Chen Xingtong can get the first transgender win in women's singles is worth looking forward to. In the end, the two sides fought bitterly for 7 innings, and Chen Xingtong was reversed in the 3-2 lead, losing the game 3-4.
At the end of November, Chen Xingtong participated in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time in her career, and she only participated in the women's single competition, which is more conducive to the impact of good results for young players. Chen Xingtong ranked 15th in the world, and he was able to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships by relying on his own efforts. Yan Sheng was born in 1997, originally from Sichuan, and is a cross-board player. This time arranging Yan Sheng and Chen Xingtong to play against each other is to simulate Yan Sheng as an upgraded version of the German famous player Shan Xiaona.
In the first game, Chen Xingtong relied on the serve and more delicate in-table ball handling to take the lead. However, in the match ball in the innings, Yan Sheng's strength was more advantageous, Chen Xingtong fell down, and was overtaken 5-7. Chen Xingtong played very tenaciously, chasing all the way to 9 draws and saving the set point to chase 10 draws. At the critical moment, Yan Sheng served to grab the winning point, and Chen Xingtong lost the first set 11-13, 0-1 behind.
In the second game, Chen Xingtong restrained Yan Sheng in speed, and the rhythm changed more obviously, there were two sudden split long balls that caught Yan Sheng by surprise, Chen Xingtong grasped the initiative, and opened the score difference in the middle of the game, leading 9-4. With a backhand draw to score, Chen Xingtong pulled back a set 11-6, 1-1.
In the third set, Chen Xingtong strengthened his defense against the straight line of the forehand and led 6-3. Although Yan Sheng chased 2 points in a row, Chen Xingtong's performance in multiple rounds was too good, and the ball path was changeable. 11-6, Chen Xingtong 2-1 counter-overtaking.
In the fourth set of the game, Yan Sheng attacked more resolutely, and successive serves to attack, which made Chen Xingtong feel very uncomfortable picking up the ball, and Yan Sheng took an 8-4 lead. But once he entered the match, Chen Xingtong could have the upper hand, and Chen Xingtong chased back with the same point, saving 2 innings to chase 10 draws. But Yan Sheng did a good job in defending and turning attacks, winning 12-10 and the score became 2-2.
In the fifth set, Yan Sheng's serve was very resolute, and Chen Xingtong fell into the downwind 2-6. But Chen Xingtong also showed the foundation of the world champion, and at the end of the game, he chased the score to 9 draws. Yan Sheng failed to grasp the opportunity of the serve round, and with Yan Sheng's sideways mistake, Chen Xingtong won the fifth set 11-9 to take a 3-2 lead.
In the sixth game, Yan Sheng was completely released, and from the beginning of the game, he established a clear lead, 9-3 far away. Chen Xingtong made efforts to narrow the score difference, but helplessly dug too big, 11-7, Yan Sheng won the sixth set, and the two sides entered the decider.
In the decider, Chen Xingtong started 1-4 behind and was in trouble. In the middle of the game, Yan Sheng controlled the mistake very well, while Chen Xingtong made a direct mistake in the key moment, falling behind 5-9. This time, Chen Xingtong failed to create a miracle, losing the tiebreaker 8-11 and losing 3-4. Even so, Chen Xingtong still won the respect and recognition of fans.
