The WTT Singapore Grand Slam Tournament ended the first day of competition, the national table tennis won a big victory, and the world's 3rd was hit by a round of travel. Details are as follows:
What are the results of the first day of the WTT Singapore Grand Slam Tournament?
According to the official website of the International Table Tennis Federation, WTT Singapore Grand Slam main tournaments played a total of 15 matches on the first day, of which 8 matches were attended by national table tennis players. The results of the match were: Lin Shidong 3-0 Dior Ibrahima, Sun Yingsha 3-0 Winter Sabin, Lin Yunru 3-0 Aura Benedek, Duda 3-0 Guo Yong, Du Kaixuan 3-0 Illand, Hayata Xena 3-2 de Nutt.
Wang Chuqin 3-0 Falke, Picheford 3-1 Aguirre, Wang Manyu 3-0 Liu Xinyin, Ku man 3-1 Feng Tianwei, Liang Jingkun 3-1 Simon Gautz, Hugo Calderano 2-3 Geraldo, Liu Shiwen 3-0 Tian Zhixi, Ma Long 3-1 Feretas.
It is gratifying that the two national table tennis young players Lin Shidong and Ku Man, who participated in the "wild card", defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the second round; in addition, four national table tennis seeded players, including Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen, etc., swept the opponent 3-0 to advance. The fly in the ointment is that Ma Long, who is now no. 2 in the world, did not show his best form when facing Portugal's Feretas, who is only 26th in the world, and finally won 3-1 after losing a set.
Why the 3rd Round of the World?
On the first day of the main tournament, only two events were competed in men's and women's singles, of which in the women's singles, it is not yet possible for the world's No. 3 Ito, so there is no such thing as a round trip; in the men's singles, the current world no. 3 player is Brazilian star Hugo Calderano.
As can be seen from the above, Hugo Calderano lost 2-3 to the world's 62nd-ranked German table tennis teenager Geraldo, suffering a round of travel. So the question is, why did Hugo Caldrano lose to the obscure Geraldo? There are three main reasons: First, Hugo Caldrano is not in good shape, although the first and fourth sets won 12-10, but the other sets were all big scores lost.
Second, in terms of technology, compared with Geraldo, Hugo Calderano's data is lagging behind in an all-round way. Among them, in terms of serving points conceded, Nojiraldo is 7 points less than Hugo Calderano; in terms of consecutive scoring, Geraldo's data is 9 points, while Hugo Calderano has only 5 points, which shows that the former's state continuity is significantly better than the latter.
The third is the most important point, for the world's top players, the biggest problem is the lack of pre-game preparation, carelessly lost Jingzhou. Before the game, almost all fans were optimistic about Hugo Calderano's victory, and under the influence of this "must win" atmosphere, the players themselves will inevitably have an imbalance of mentality, lax spirits, and poor preparation.
Finally, I would like to say that on the second matchday of the WTT Singapore Grand Slam Main Tournament, the national table tennis will send 10 players, including Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin, to participate, and interested fans can pay attention. So, what do you think of the world Number 3 Hugo Calderano round trip? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
