The Macau tournament has ended the first day of the four mixed doubles quarterfinals competition, and the four pairs have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Fan Zhendong / Ku man took the lead in the first mixed doubles match, defeating Yuan Licen / Wang Yidi 3-1. Fan Zhendong's hard strength is relatively strong, and he can suppress Yuan Licen from the beginning, and Ku Man bluntly believes in Fan Zhendong's strength. Although Wang Yidi's overall strength is not under Ku Man, the mixed doubles need the cooperation of male and female players, and Yuan Licen has become the key reason for the loss.
The second appearance was Xiang Peng/Zhang Rui, who won 3-1 against Hong Kong's Lin Zhaoheng/Du Kaixuan. Zhang Rui's play is very good, although she often serves as a sparring partner for the main team, but the overall strength is close to the main player, and as long as she can get more opportunities to participate in the future, she is expected to get rid of the sparring role. Xiang Peng is also a potential player of the post-00 generation, and his strength is not below Lin Zhaoheng. As a sister in Hong Kong, Du Kaixuan did not show an advantage, and finally the national table tennis combination won the promotion.
Zhou Qihao / He Zhuojia made his third appearance, losing 2-3 to Yuanfei / Wang Xiaotong out. From the perspective of the game process alone, the Zhou Qihao combination has been saving the situation, but it did not grasp the key points and eventually lost the game. And Zhou Qihao was out of the double-line rout within one day, and before the men's singles 1/8 final, Zhou Qihao lost 2-3 to Lin Shidong. This mixed doubles match was another five-set defeat, and Zhou Qihao betrayed the trust of the coaching staff. I thought that participating in the singles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships was a new beginning for Zhou Qihao, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse.
Xue Fei/Wang Xiaotong will face Xiang Peng/Zhang Rui in the quarterfinals. Both pairs are less experienced in the big game, but the first game is good, and it remains to be seen who can advance to the final four. Wang Xiaotong and Zhang Rui have previously advanced to the women's singles quarterfinals, and now the mixed doubles have also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, in stark contrast to Zhou Qihao. In addition, Xue Fei and Xiang Peng belong to the same age group, and both pairs have a chance to advance to the final four.
The focus of the mixed doubles competition was between Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and Ma Long/Qian Tianyi and two pairs, and finally the Mixed Doubles Champion Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha swept the Ma Long combination 3-0 to advance. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha cooperate tacitly, and are already the main combination of the new generation of mixed doubles of national table tennis. Although Qian Tianyi participated in the women's doubles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships, his personal strength was lacking, and ma Long was powerless in the face of the main mixed doubles combination. Not to mention that Malone is officially participating in a mixed doubles competition for the first time, and the loss is understandable.
In this way, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha will face Fan Zhendong/Kuman in the semifinals, which is another wonderful main battle. Fan Zhendong and Ku Man were paired for the first time, and the overall strength was naturally inferior to that of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha. However, Fan Zhendong's hard power is stronger than Wang Chuqin's, which will be the key to the victory of Fan Zhendong's combination. If Ku Man can withstand Sun Yingsha's fierce attack, the Fan Zhendong combination may be able to break the cold and advance. But the opponent is the world table tennis champion, even if the loss is not to blame.
