The WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament continued, with Malone playing against Nigeria's Aruna, and although Malone won 3-1 in the end, fans still paid tribute to the African brother. In addition, the exit of the national table tennis genius is also a bit regrettable.
Aruna has represented The African Table Tennis on the stage many times in recent years, and at the Rio Olympics, he used a ricket wrapped in black tape to play against Malone, which left a deep impression on the world. Although his economic conditions are far inferior to that of national table tennis, he has always insisted on his love for table tennis over the years, and judging from the special color of his rackets, it is known that he must also have the support of commercial forces if he can persevere.
In this game, there is no coach to guide the African big man Aruna who plays alone on the sidelines, he faces the "hexagonal warrior" and "national table tennis double circle Grand Slam" winner Malone, the two sides fought fiercely for 4 innings, Malone narrowly won 3-1, 4 sets of 11-4, 5-11, 11-6, 11-9. It's not easy to win the first set from Malone and fight in the fourth inning to the end! The most rare thing is that Aruna is very personable!
In the 4th round of the game, the score on the field came to 10-9, when Malone got the match point, the two players suddenly greeted each other and then ended the game, I believe that the fans who watched the game were puzzled, in fact, it was the referee who made the wrong score, so Malone won the game at 11-9, for such a live mistake caused great controversy on the Internet, if replaced by an opponent who did not recognize the account, it is estimated that there will be trouble, but Aruna can afford to put it down, which is very admirable!
Ma Long is old and strong, the national table tennis players still have obvious deficiencies, the national table tennis genius "little fat" Lin Shidong this time encountered a serious challenge, facing the world's 12th Slovenian genius Dako, he is obviously weak, after the two sides played the decider, the inexperienced Lin Shidong lost the game 10-12. Nowadays, Lin Gaoyuan, Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong have been out, and the challenges encountered by national table tennis will become greater and greater.
Dako from Slovenia, he defeated Pitcheford, Zhang Benzhi and the two famous players at the Tokyo Olympics, and won the European Championships, is the rise of the European table tennis supernova in recent years, Liu Guoliang, Qin Zhijian and others need to strengthen their research on him!
