The second match of the new WTT Grand Slam in Singapore is a strong match that deserves everyone's attention. The two sides of the confrontation are Wang Chuqin, a new generation representative from the national table tennis team, and Pitcheford, a famous player from England and now ranked 15th in the world. Although the two met twice in the previous world competitions, they all ended with Wang Chuqin winning. However, because the strength of the other side cannot be underestimated, it is also necessary for Wang Chuqin to make sufficient preparations for difficulties in the game, reduce unnecessary self-mistakes, strive to open the situation faster in the game, gain the upper hand, and strive to get the final victory of the game at the lowest cost.
Sure enough, in the first round of the game, Wang Chuqin took the lead in entering the state, and whether it was in the serve or in the serve, he played his own characteristics. This can also make us realize that Wang Chuqin did his homework before the game. Especially in the control of the drop point at the end of the serve, he caused a lot of trouble to Pecheford, and after the formation of a stalemate, Wang Chuqin still did not fall behind, he achieved a 9-3 big score lead at the beginning, but in the middle stage, Picheford strengthened the changes in the first three boards, improved the quality of the single board, Wang Chuqin was indeed somewhat unsuitable, the attack had some mistakes, and Was chased by Picheford from 6-10 to 8-10, but the key point at the end of the set was Wang Chuqin's handling more decisively. With Wang Chuqin's serve directly scoring, he won the first set 11-8 while taking a 1-0 lead.
In the second set of the game, although Wang Chuqin did not completely open the score at the beginning, he still occupied a nongding scoring advantage of 3-2 and 7-4, and Wang Chuqin also played quite actively on the court, and his service changes, as well as the angle of movement, all had a great lethal effect on Pecheford. However, after taking a 9-5 lead, Pitcheford caused Wang Chuqin to lose points in his own serve round, and in Wang Chuqin's own serve wheel, there was also a situation of losing 1 point and 1 point, and the score between the two sides came to 10-8. Wang Chuqin took the initiative to call a timeout for himself at this time, he made full preparations for Picheford to send a forehand short ball, although Picheford still changed, sent a middle side backhand, but because Wang Chuqin's quality of receiving the ball was still maintained well, the two sides also quickly formed a confrontation situation. Comparatively speaking, Wang Chuqin is still more capable of attacking on multiple boards, and with Peecheford's mistakes, Wang Chuqin went down to the next city at 11-8 to take a 2-0 lead.
In the third set of the game, Wang Chuqin and Pitcheford formed a balance of power, the two fought to a 3-3 draw, Wang Chuqin just took advantage of the change in the serve to take another point, occupying a 4-3 lead, Picheford immediately called a timeout for himself. Sure enough, after the suspension came back, Wang Chuqin continuously sent the opponent a return ball that could make him pull back, And Picheford also scored 2 points in a row, and the counter-score was 5-4, but Wang Chuqin played very flexibly, seeing that his choice did not work, but let the opponent score consecutively, and immediately began to take the initiative to swing the short hand attack, and this method worked very well, coupled with the change in the rhythm, Wang Chuqin quickly pulled the score apart, and scored consecutively, directly from 5-5 to 6 points to 11-5, thus 3-0 (11-8, 11-8 and 11-5) beat Pitcheford to advance to the men's singles round of 16 of this WTT Grand Slam.
From the interview after the game, we felt the growth of Wang Chuqin even more, he faced the reporter's questions, gave a very high evaluation to the opponent Pitcheford, and said that he had to play every point well in the case of the strong opponent and strive to win in the game. Perhaps on the road of growth, Wang Chuqin still has to face different stumbles, ups and downs, but in the game more and more powerful self-adjustment ability, as well as the ability to get rid of difficult situations, as well as the correct understanding of the victory or defeat of the game, wang Chuqin is still moving towards maturity step by step. Come on, Wang Chuqin. Congratulations again on your success in winning a place in the men's singles round of 16.
