On the evening of March 8, 2022, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Grand Slam tournament continued, and Xiang Peng, an 18-year-old rising star of national table tennis, appeared again to compete with Danish player Linde. Linde's performance in this battle was eye-catching, playing the flowing feel of Japan's famous Niwa Takashi, and the first two sets created great difficulties for Xiang Peng, playing a 12-10 score against each other.
However, then there was a rare situation on the field: Linde threw out his contact lenses in the third set because of too much force, forced to interrupt the game to adjust, and then lost like a mountain, 5-11, 3-11 ended the battle, it was really dramatic!
Xiang Peng is very familiar to everyone, the recent rise of the national table tennis young players are very fast, and Zhang Benzhi and the same age he has become a multi-party optimistic successor of the national table tennis, generally believe that Linde is difficult to pose a threat to him.
However, in the previous day's game, Xiang Peng led Iran's Alamyan 2-0 and almost overturned the ship, but after being dragged to the decider by the other side, he fell behind 4-8, but in the end he calmly chased 7 points in a row to achieve a reversal. After experiencing this battle, I believe that Xiang Peng no longer dares to underestimate any opponent, and it turns out that caution is completely necessary.
After the game began, the two sides played hard in the first set, and as a result, Linde played a steady role, using his left-handed line advantage to contain Xiang Peng's attack, and then won the top 12-10. In the second set, the two sides played hard to solve the score, xiang Peng once again fought hard to the 2-point victory and defeat link, fortunately this time it was he who also scored a 12-10 score.
The third set was very interesting, when the game was played 2-5, Linde suddenly applied to interrupt the game, Xiang Peng was also confused, fortunately, the referee on the court Chinese, so the scene told him that Linde's contact lenses fell out, so he could only call out a timeout to adjust: this situation is really the first time to see!
After returning to the field, I don't know if it was because of the eyes being affected, Linde was completely out of shape, first 5-11 lost the third set, and then lost 3-11, thus losing the whole game, the big score 1-0 lead lost 3 consecutive sets were reversed, and thus the fiasco was eliminated, this process is really unexpected!
Through the first two men's singles matches, we can see that the athletes of the foreign association do still have an impact, and Xiang Peng really can't be careless! I look forward to his later performances getting better and better, strive to enter the main game as soon as possible, and continue to attack teammates and strong enemies such as Zhang Benzhihe: Come on, young man!
