Although xiang Peng, a young player in the national table tennis team, failed to successfully break through the barrier in the face of his opponents after qualifying for the main tournament, the main players of the national table tennis were still relatively stable, and for the young players, the value of exercise and learning was more important than directly achieving good results. After all, for Xiang Peng, although he is now making great progress relative to himself, compared with the real masters of the world, there are still many aspects to seek breakthroughs, and it is also necessary to summarize lessons learned in the actual battle of the game and enhance competitiveness. At least until now, the main players of the national table tennis have basically maintained the record of total victory (except for the Civil War). The highest-ranked player in the outer association is a bit unlucky, or the hard power is not strong enough. In the previous day's competition, the highest ranking in the men's singles event, that is, hugo Calderano, who is now ranked third in the world, suffered a first-round exit, and in another first-round competition that just ended, Japanese player Zhang Benzhihe, who is now ranked fourth in the world, also suffered an early exit, losing to Jaha Kanak from the American table tennis team, which is another big upset in this competition.
Who is Karnak? In fact, although the young player is not ranked very high in the world, he still has a certain degree of competitiveness and impact, and during the single event of the World Table Tennis Championships, it was he and Wang Manyu who formed a new mixed doubles combination and achieved good results. Of course, Karnak has also trained with his teammates for a long time with the national table tennis players, which has also played a great role in improving his ability. Judging from the scores of the four sets of the two sides, Zhang Benzhi and the first set still played his first three boards and serves and the advantages of receiving the ball, 11-7 to win the first set, to achieve a 1-0 lead. However, from the second set, Kanak's offensive stalemate ability, let him successfully achieve the suppression of Zhang Benzhihe, if the second and third sets, the two sides can also form a score glue, the two are also their own specialties, only in the key points to score victory and defeat, Kanak 11-9 consecutively to win and lose, obviously the fourth game, Zhang Benzhihe made his own old mistakes, that is, once the momentum of the game was suppressed by the other party, he was prone to various undeserved mistakes, and lost points quickly. So in the fourth inning, the two sides scored a huge 11-3 score. Zhang Benzhihe also lost 1-3, once again breaking out a big cold goal in this WTT Grand Slam.
From Caldrano's early exit to Zhang Benzhihe's elimination in the first set, it is not difficult to see that this seemingly powerful player of the foreign association, even if the world ranking is very high, is actually lacking in terms of control in the game. Their biggest problem is that they often study the main players of the national table tennis and regard them as the main opponents, but they lack the necessary understanding of the growth of young players in other associations and the ability of veterans to maintain their form, and the response method is also somewhat single. Coupled with the fact that the mentality on the field is prone to ups and downs, when encountering difficulties that cannot be solved, it is easy to be impatient, so when the opponent completely lets go and plays the climax, they are also prone to their own advantages can not play, completely limited by the other party, and lose the game by a big score.
We can even say that rather than saying that Hugo and Zhang Benzhi and early exit are two big cold doors, it is better to say that as long as they do not play against the main players of national table tennis, and the opponent and them have less confrontation, but also have a certain impact, Zhang Benzhihe and Calderano are easy to lose because they do not adapt to each other's style of play and fighting style. Especially for the young Zhang Benzhihe, his lack of technical thickness, and lack of stability has always been his shortcomings, in order to truly reach the level of the core layer of the national table tennis players, continue to maintain competitiveness in the world, there is still a long way to go.
