For the majority of table tennis fans, although ma long, Xu Xin and other national table tennis veterans are full of feelings, but also hope to be able to see their figure in the future field, but from another point of view, it is natural to look forward to the new generation of national table tennis can also win more opportunities to appear on the world stage, and make new breakthroughs, as soon as possible to carry the national table tennis banner, so that everyone realizes that the national table tennis is not only Ma Long and Xu Xin, as well as Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin, as well as the younger Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong is constantly impacting the position of big brothers, and began to emerge in the world table tennis arena. The WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament undoubtedly opened a window for Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, and also gave them the opportunity to show their personal abilities and prove their value to fans around the world.
On the first matchday of the Singapore Grand Slam, the first round of qualifying was played out. Xiang Peng, an 18-year-old young player who represented the national table tennis player, can be said to have shown his technical strength against Alamyan, a veteran from Iran, and proved his ability to fight hard battles and difficult battles with tenacity in the game, and finally after 5 sets of hard fighting, he won 3-2 (the scores of the two sides in five sets: 11-8, 11-78, 9-11, 9-11 and 11-8) and became the final winner. For the national table tennis coaching staff and the majority of fans, this is of course what everyone is most looking forward to seeing. I believe that the old national table tennis fans know that although Alamyan's world ranking is not very high, he is also a strong veteran. His high throwing serve, as well as the reverse rotation serve, in the current world table tennis world belongs to a more own style, not only won the bronze medal in the Asian Games level competition, but also had the experience of defeating Wang Liqin, one of the national table tennis troikas. It can be seen that Aramyan is by no means an incompetent person, this time Xiang Peng can lead two sets, and the opponent finally won the game in the case of changing the big score, or proved that as long as his mentality is not chaotic, with the adaptation to the changes of the other party, he can still regain the rhythm of the game and achieve the final victory.
In fact, the young players in the national table tennis team, players with certain strength and competitiveness are indeed not, especially Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, who have become the best among them. However, due to their relatively few opportunities for various exercises before, even if they have achieved very outstanding results in the competition of teenagers, they have not yet been able to complete the breakthrough of themselves and break through the opponents in the competition of the adult group. At the just-concluded Oman Challenge, Xiang Peng has made new progress, such as in the doubles field, he and Lin Shidong won the final championship trophy together. In the men's singles field, he also went all the way through the barrier, until he reached the semi-finals, only to lose 3-4 to Liang Jingkun, who was in the current year. Even in Oman, Xiang Peng eventually missed the men's singles final, but being able to fight with Liang Jingkun to the end is enough to show his hard strength. Now in the field of the WTT Grand Slam, Xiang Peng has experienced a process of being equalized by the opponent and then winning 11-8 in the decider in the case of a 2-0 lead, such a real battle, but also the actual battle of the final victory, for Xiang Peng, of course, is a confidence boost, but also a accumulation of experience.
I believe that Xiang Peng has experienced this kind of exercise on the Grand Slam field, which will gain a lot more than usual training in the team, and let us look forward to him continuing to march forward in the future games, and bringing us more happiness about table tennis with his brothers and brothers. Xiang Peng, come on.
