On the evening of March 9, 2022, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Grand Slam tournament ended the qualifying stage, the only men's world champion, Chinese Taipei's famous Chen Jian'an once again encountered danger, following the second round of hard fighting 5 rounds to advance, the third round of hard fighting 5 sets, fortunately this time he was still not upset, and finally 3-2 promoted to the main stage.
At present, it seems that Chen Jian'an's technology has become relatively old, and he himself is not small, and it is difficult to create good results in the main stage, and he can only take one step at a time.
Chen Jian'an is an athlete that fans are very familiar with, he became famous after winning consecutive Grand Slam Zhang Jike, and peaked in winning the men's doubles championship with Zhuang Zhiyuan at the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris.
However, with the passage of time, Chen Jian'an's position in the Chinese Taipei team has become very embarrassing: compared to the upper, he is not as good as the older Zhuang Zhiyuan; than the next, he is even worse than the post-00s rising star Lin Yunru (the third place in the World Cup singles, currently ranked 6th in the world), and the singles and doubles have withdrawn from the ranks of the first-class masters of the foreign association.
In this Grand Slam, Chen Jian'an almost broke the sand in the second round, leading 2-0 by Croatia's Kojic for 2 consecutive sets, and then the decider was narrowly won 11-8.
In the third round of the game, Chen Jianan also played very badly against the same unknown Belgian player Martin, after winning 11-8 in the first set, losing 9-11 in the second set, winning 11-9 in the third set, losing 6-11 in the fourth set, the result was that the game was again dragged into the decider, but this time Chen Jianan locked up the victory 11-5 and did not do too much entanglement.
Since the qualifiers only played three rounds, Chen Jian'an was already thrilled to pass now. But there are already a large number of top players waiting for him in the main stage, and his first opponent is Pukar from Croatia, an athlete with a height of 1.97 meters, a very powerful opponent.
So can Chen Jian'an use the delicate techniques of Asian athletes to beat the strong men of Europe? The main event kicks off on March 11, so let's wait and see!
