On March 14, 2022, Beijing time, the Singapore Table Tennis Grand Slam continued, the men's doubles 1/8 final broke out of the big cold, the world table tennis men's doubles champion, the top seed Fark / Carlsson lost 2-3 to Habezon / Galdos, missed the quarterfinals. In the other match, the veteran duo Zhuang Zhiyuan/Chen Jian'an completed a big comeback after falling behind 0-2, and they blasted 11-1 in the decider to eliminate Carlberg/Moregold.
The men's doubles competition is fierce, and the top seeds Falke/Carlsson are of course the favourites to win the title, and the duo has previously won the World Table Tennis Men's Doubles Title, sweden's first World Table Tennis Men's Doubles title in nearly 30 years. Because of this, Falke/Carlsson are highly anticipated, and as the top seeds of the Grand Slam, they have a heavy responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Falke/Carlsson, who was bye in the first round, was hit in the debut battle, facing the Austrian combination of Habersson/Galdos, although Fark/Carlsson dragged the game into the decider after falling behind twice, but played poorly in the last minute, losing the decider 4-11 and going out 2-3 on aggregate, which was obviously a big upset. The winning Habbeson/Gardos will face the German duo of Duda/Chu in the quarter-finals.
In the other match, former world champions Zhuang Zhiyuan / Chen Jian'an also played five sets, the veteran pair once fell behind 0-2, but they did not give up, and then played a very high level of competition, winning three consecutive sets to complete the reversal. What is even more incredible is that Zhuang Zhiyuan / Chen Jian'an played 11-1 in the decider, defeating the Swedish duo of Carlberg / Moregold in one fell swoop. Zhuang Jiyuan / Chen Jian'an will face south Korean duo Jang Yu-jin / Lim Jong-hoon in the men's doubles quarterfinals.
It is worth mentioning that Zhuang Jiyuan also experienced a big reversal in the previous men's singles competition, but he was eliminated by South Korea's Ahn Jae Hyun in the case of a 2-0 lead, and then completed a big reversal in the men's doubles field, and it is indeed not easy to have such an experience in a short period of time. In addition, Sweden's youngster Moregold was full of confidence, and as a result, the men's singles and men's doubles were all eliminated, looking quite angry.
Men's singles, Germany's Qiu Dang eliminated the Danish player Gross 3-0, although Qiu Dang won three consecutive sets, but the process was not easy, the score of the three sets was 12-10, Qiu Dang grasped the key points, got a valuable victory, he will play against Sweden's young player Carlberg in the next round!
