In the 2020 UEFA Table Tennis Champions Cup quarterfinals, the Russian Orenburg club led by Ochalov swept the Portuguese Athletic Club 3-0, and the German world champion Ochalov, who missed the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup Finals due to injury, returned from injury and participated in the match as 3 singles, resulting in a three-set win for Wilso to set the victory for Orenburg. Brazil's Calderano, who is ranked No. 4 in the world, came out in the second set and beat Cavajo despite losing one set.
Shbayev 3-0 Paul Kinkhol
Orenburg's first appearance is the Russian national team's number one men's singles Shibayev, who can probably rank in the round of 16 on the European men's line, and can play well to advance to the top 8, but there are not many opportunities to perform in the international arena, which belongs to the level between second-rate and third-rate players. Facing England's Paul Kinkhor in the first set, although the opponent had defeated the national table tennis main Lin Gaoyuan at the WTT Rashko station, and was also the second main force for England to win the world table tennis championships and the World Cup team third place, Shbayev seized the opportunity at the key point, did not give Kim Kehor any room to turn around, and scored the first point for Orenburg to take the lead.
Calderano 3-1 Cavajo
Brazil's Calderano made the second appearance for Orenburg, the opponent is Portugal's national Cavajo, Cavajo world ranking is outside the 200th, but the performance of this game in addition to the strong momentum, in the standoff dare to change the line, dare to take the initiative, but lack of absolute technical strength support, and finally lost 1-3 to Calderano, but also let Orenburg Club take a 2-0 lead. Calderano is currently the world's highest ranked foreign athlete, the world's No. 4 he is still 22 points away from the 3rd Xu Xin, the future Xu Xin will certainly not be as many as Calderano, more than Xu Xin to the world men's singles 3rd is probably sooner or later.
Ochalov 3-0 Wilso
Ochalov had a serious knee injury at the end of 2021, and photos of kneeling on mats and training were also posted through social platforms, which shows that the world champion did not train overnight, and it takes a very human effort. Once won the 2017 World Cup men's singles championship, and for the German men's table tennis in the World Championships, Olympic Games, World Cup multiple team finals against the national table tennis men's team, he is still the best national table tennis opponent in Europe, absent from the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup finals, Ocharov in the Russian League, this time representing the old owner Orenburg to participate in the Champions League, although the opponent Welso's strength is limited, but it is undeniable that Ochalov took the first step back to the field, and will still be the world champion in the future.
Through the Champions League competition, the players of various clubs in Europe involve a wide range of players, there are representatives of the Americas Calderano, Africa's Aruna, Europe's first-line players are almost fully covered, although the overall level is indeed not comparable to China's table tennis super, but the participation rate is higher than the Chinese table tennis super, which is conducive to improving the attention of European and American countries, and there will be more young players participating in this sport.
