The national table tennis players have finished playing the main match on the third day of the Grand Slam, and Liu Shiwen defeated Germany's Shan Xiaona 3-0 to advance to the round of 16. This game was very difficult, Shan Xiaona's ability to chase points was good, Liu Shiwen had a slight advantage and was chased by Shan Xiaona continuously. However, Liu Shiwen gave full play to the advantage of speed and made Shan Xiaona's own mistakes by speeding up the connection speed. Even if the last set hit a high score of 13:11, Liu Shiwen could still withstand it, and it was not easy for fans to call the veteran.
Liu Shiwen won 3-0 in both singles matches, and in the first round, she eliminated a Korean sister Tian Zhixi, and Liu Shiwen, who is at the end of her career, is playing her residual heat. If it were not for the elbow injury that delayed Liu Shiwen for a year, she could still sit firmly in the core main position. After breaking into the round of 16, Liu Shiwen is about to usher in the most difficult game to play, and Sun Yingsha will fight for the top 8 seats. Judging from the recent records of the two-person confrontation, Liu Shiwen is in the inferior position in terms of both her achievements and competitive level.
And Sun Yingsha also won 3-0 in the first two rounds of singles matches, and also eliminated Oman women's singles champion Kuman. Sun Yingsha is in the golden period of her career and is the first in the women's world, but unfortunately she has not won the singles championship of the competition. If she can win the Grand Slam singles title this time, Sun Yingsha is no longer the uncrowned king. If she can defeat veteran Liu Shiwen, Sun Yingsha will have to face Wang Manyu's obstruction next, and it will be extremely difficult to reach the final. Liu Shiwen is very optimistic about the result of the game, and she is smiling when interviewed, and she only wants to enjoy the game process and does not care about the final result.
The men's singles field faces a similar situation, with Ma Long and Wang Chuqinnong fighting for the top 8 seats. Wang Chuqin's signing position was not very good, not only in the first round of the match encountered Sweden's famous Falke, but also in this round of the game encountered the difficult Picheford. Fortunately, Wang Chuqin has strong foreign combat ability, and he can seize the key points in the final stage of the game and beat two fierce opponents 3-0 in a row. Next, facing Ma Long, Wang Chuqin fought 3 hard battles in a row. Coupled with the fact that Wang Chuqin also has to participate in mixed doubles and men's doubles competitions, the Grand Slam tournament is a huge test for him.
Ma Long and Liu Shiwen's attitude is similar, they both enjoy the joy of the game. Both rounds were won 3-1, eliminating Feretas and Aruna, who were not yet fully in form. After all, he is a veteran over 30 years old, Malone needs to pay attention to his physical condition at all times, and the result of the game is not important. In the face of teammates who are familiar with each other, Ma Long bluntly said after the game that he can't beat Wang Chuqin now, and the last few confrontations are in the inferior position, which is undoubtedly a modest attitude.
The 4 main players of national table tennis are about to take the top 8 seats in the civil war, which is undoubtedly two wonderful main battles. And it is more like the replacement of the old and the new, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are the main players of the Paris Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen and Ma Long are about to withdraw, who can advance to the quarterfinals is worth looking forward to. Playing against veterans can sum up unique experiences, and Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin need to cherish the opportunity.
