On March 14, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles quarterfinals continued, with Fan Zhendong sweeping Japan's Masataka Morien 3-0 to advance to the men's singles round of 16. With three sets scored 11-8, 11-6 and 13-11, Fan Zhendong showed a strong psychological quality, and the third set was a big reversal.
In the third set, Fan Zhendong once started 4-8, and then fell behind 7-10, and was won 3 innings by the opponent, seeing that he was about to be unable to sweep the opponent, Fan Zhendong actively adjusted, and Mori Yuan Masahiro faced the situation that he could get a set on the world's first body. Fan Zhendong saved 3 innings points, 11-10 rebound, Mori En Masashige scored 1 point, but Fan Zhendong did not give his opponent too many opportunities, after scoring 2 consecutive points, he won the set 13-11, and the big score was 3-0 to advance.
After the match, Fan Zhendong was interviewed on the sidelines and asked if he could be confident of winning the men's singles title at the World Cup in Singapore last year. Fan Zhendong said: "I have to rush towards the highest honor every time, the process is also very difficult, or focus on every game, every game has a good play. ”
Talking about having men's doubles tonight, do you feel tired? Fan Zhendong said: "It's okay, this time the schedule is more relaxed, there will be time to prepare for the game, it will not be very tired, will go all out." ”
I have to say that Fan Zhendong's emotional intelligence is too high, it is still only the top 16, and it is not time to talk about winning the men's singles championship, after all, the athletes of the Chinese team are strong and low-key, unlike Ito Mimachi and others who made a bold statement before the start of the game to win the championship and defeat more Chinese team players. Fan Zhendong's goal now is to focus on every game at the moment and play every game well, as for the result and whether to win the championship, it depends on the performance of each game.
Singapore is indeed fan zhendong's blessed land, in 2021 he won the world cup men's singles championship here, the then WTT World Cup, Fan Zhendong defeated the Japanese team's player Zhang Benzhihe 4-1, successfully won the men's singles championship, the overall performance is very strong, coupled with the previous world table tennis men's singles champion, but also officially opened the era belonging to Fan Zhendong.
Therefore, I also hope that Fan Zhendong, who came to The Happy Land, can have good luck and strive for the next steady and steady fight, adjust his mentality and state, and impact the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles championship.
