In terms of Chinese men's table tennis, which is experiencing the replacement of the old and the new, Fan Zhendong is the most stable player at present. In this event, it is also the first time that Ma Long and Fan Zhendong have participated in the event at the same time after the Olympic Games, and we are also very much looking forward to the two of them meeting in the final.
At the same time, Zhang Zicheng is not very familiar with this player, in the world table tennis arena, Macau players are generally not common. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zicheng is a pair of twins, both devoted to the field of table tennis, known as the "Twin Stars" of Macau Table Tennis.
In the first game, Zhang Zicheng performed more fiercely, playing very aggressively and very fast. The threat of backhand twisting and pulling the ball is not small, and Fan Zhendong seems to be a little uncomfortable at the beginning, and there are more mistakes.

In the second set, Zhang Zicheng took the lead in serving, but his serve lacked some changes and characteristics, and Fan Zhendong did not take it seriously at all, scoring 2 points in a row. But then the two fought 4-4. Although Fan Zhendong is in the lead, there is still not much gap in the score. The atmosphere reached a high point at 7-5, Pan Zhendong was vigorously dunked by Zhang Zicheng, but Fan Zhendong picked up the ball with high precision for each ball, which eventually led to Zhang Zicheng's mistake in slaming the ball.
Fan Zhendong won the second set 10-6, but a strong dunk did not hit the ball, and almost flashed his waist. As a result, Zhang Zicheng did not give up the game when he was behind by big points, although he chased for 3 points in a row, but Fan Zhendong seized the opportunity at the end and finally won the second set 11-9.
In the third set, Fan Zhendong did not give Zhang Zicheng too many opportunities, from 2-1 to 6-4, and then played until 10-6 to get the match point, in the end, Fan Zhendong won the third set 11-6 and advanced to the next set 3-0.
At the same time, the performance of Macao player Zhang Zicheng also left a deep impression on us, and this young player will become an atmosphere if he adjusts well in time.
