The Japanese table tennis T-League is in full swing, and the much-publicized 38-year-old veteran of the national table tennis world champion Hao Shuai recently experienced a small defeat after a big victory: after a 3-1 defeat to Japanese world champion Makoto Yoshimura, he lost 0-1 under a special format of a game that was set to win and lose to 18-year-old Kawada Kazuki, who was only 18 years old and did not even have a world ranking.
I have to say that competitive sports are such a fickle victory and defeat, but Hao Shuai's current winning rate in the T League is very high, and it is completely understandable that he occasionally loses: tigers also have nap times, not to mention the 38-year-old veteran!
Hao Shuai is very familiar to everyone, once one of the "six little dragons" of national table tennis, and Wang Hao rose almost at the same time, but they embarked on different development paths after the men's singles finals in the 2003 finals: Wang Hao "rose step by step" and became the main olympic champion; Hao Shuai wandered forward, sitting in the sixth position in the team for many years, and the best result stopped at the World Cup team championship.
In recent years, Hao Shuai has stopped participating in international competitions, but is still active in the National Games, National Championships and commercial leagues, and last year went to to the Orient to join the T League, and then became a star figure, defeating various opponents many times, losing only 2 games so far, winning as many as 10 games!
Hamada Kazuki was born in 2003, the same age as Zhang Benzhihe, but the results are far away, there is no fame in Japan, and it is not ranked in the international table tennis world, and he has not yet seen that he has world ranking points, so everyone thinks that since Hao Shuai can win Makoto Yoshimura, then it should be no problem to win Hamada Kazuki.
However, in the case of a special tiebreaker in the T League, Hao Shuai failed to continue his good form, and the result was 7-11 to the other side - before that, he had also overthrown the Japanese Olympic main Niwa Takashi under such a format, but unfortunately this time he failed to win the weaker Hamada Kazuki, which was a pity.
In the absence of Zhang Benzhihe, Hao Shuai has defeated the main Player and National Champion of Japanese Table Tennis olympics and national champion Takashi Niwa, world champion Makoto Yoshimura, national champion and Kawa Ruiki, former main player Yuya Oshima and others in the T League, with a singles win rate of 83.3%, which is not easy for an athlete who became famous nearly two decades ago.
So can Hao Shuai find an opportunity to duel with Zhang Benzhihe and win the battle? This is undoubtedly the most concerned issue for fans and friends, so let's continue to wait for this opportunity to come!
