In everyone's expectations, the WTT Macau Tournament has entered the lottery link, and the 19th tournament will officially start. With the results of the men's table tennis draw, we will also witness how the national table tennis players can bring the unique fun of table tennis to everyone on the WTT Macau competition. Let's first look at the results of the draw in the upper and lower half of the district, which are: Fan Zhendong vs Zhang Zicheng, Yuan Licen vs Xu Yingbin, Lin Gaoyuan vs Lin Zhaoheng, Lin Shidong vs Zhou Qihao. The showdown in the second half is: Xiang Peng vs Sun Wen, Zhao Zihao vs Xu Xin, Xue Fei vs Wang Chuqin, Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun.
Judging from the results of the draw in the first half of the district, it can obviously be called two competitions with clear strength and weakness, plus a contest of equal strength between the two. Among them, Fan Zhendong and Zhang Zicheng played in the first round, we can say that the two have a big gap in strength, and it is only a matter of time before Fan Zhendong wins easily. I'm afraid that Zhang Zicheng wants to win the next set in front of Fan Zhendong is a very difficult thing. Of course, for Fan Zhendong, who won the singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships and the singles championship of the WTT World Cup, the first round of the WTT Macau Tournament and Zhang Zicheng's first round of duels can be used as a warm-up for Fan Zhendong to adapt to the venue and find the feel of the game, in order to create better conditions for the later matches to play a better state. In the same situation, although Lin Gaoyuan's dominance in the singles game did not rise or fall compared to the previous two years, he often had ups and downs in the face of some hard battles, but in the face of Lin Zhaoheng, I believe that even if he has ups and downs, it is basically impossible to lose the game. That is to say, the suspense of victory and defeat is not big, and our expectation for Lin Gaoyuan is that he can play smoothly, do not have a big ups and downs, and avoid too many mistakes of his own.
As we mentioned earlier, the first round of the first half of the showdown between the two matches is clearly strong and weak, while the other two can be said to be frontal steel between each other. Whether it is the match between Yuan Licen and Xu Yingbin, or the contest between Lin Shidong and Zhou Qihao, I am afraid that it will be difficult for either side to win over the other. Although Lin Shidong is relatively young to Zhou Qihao and has little experience in participating in world competitions, his tactical strength and flexibility in the game are still very strong, and we also hope that no matter who loses or wins in these two duels, the four players can play their ideal state, and even with a more relaxed mentality, play it as a domestic table tennis super league, I believe we have the opportunity to harvest surprises from the four young players.
Let's take a look at the second half together. I believe that when you see the first round of the second half of the matchup, you may worry that you are wrong. Because from the perspective of the two sides in the showdown, one of the matches was quite surprising. That is, the double-lap Grand Slam player Ma Long directly and Liang Jingkun want to have a head-to-head confrontation. Such two of the world's top masters, directly in the first round of the encounter, is really a bit of a surprise, and no matter who is out of the first round, it will be very regrettable. After all, both of them are enough to compete for the title or dominate in this competition. Such an arrangement really makes people feel sorry for the side of the two who is out in advance. However, it is precisely because of such tension and excitement that the outcome of the game is also full of uncertainty, which makes people look forward to the game itself. The other three duels are Xiang Peng and Sun Wen meeting, the first chance of the two sides is half, and Zhao Zihao, as xu Xin's successor player in the same style of play, I am afraid that the final result of the head-on competition between the two sides is more to see whether Xu Xin can still quickly find his ideal state without participating in the training camp for a long time. And the duel between Xue Fei and Wang Chuqin, for Wang Chuqin, can not be relaxed because he has become one of the main players of the national table tennis. After all, Xue Fei also has a certain competitiveness, and wang Chuqin needs to go all out, lower his posture, and strive to go further.
Finally, let's look forward to the game. At the same time, I hope that everyone will pay attention to the competition between Lin Shidong and Zhou Qihao, Xue Fei and Wang Chuqin, as well as Ma Long and Liang Jingkun. I also hope that fans and friends will not miss the opportunity to watch this wonderful duel of considerable strength.
