Wang Chuqin Fan Zhendong harvested good! The top seed in the men's doubles was upset, and the world champion missed the quarterfinals. In the 2022 WTT Singapore Grand Slam Men's Doubles Quarterfinals, the top seed, world table tennis champion Swedish duo Falke/Carlsson lost 2-3 to the Austrian duo of Haberson/Gardos, missing out on the quarterfinals. The national table tennis duo Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin defeated the Portuguese combination of Montero / Apollonia 3-1, and since the number one seed has been out, the probability of Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin winning the championship has suddenly risen a lot.
At last year's World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, the Swedish combination Falke/Carlsson showed great strength, first defeating Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin 3-2, and then sweeping Lin Gaoyuan/Liang Jingkun 3-0 to reach the final, defeating two pairs of national table tennis combinations in a row, which can already show that The strength of Fark/Carlsson is very strong, and finally Fark/Carlsson defeated the South Korean combination Zhang Yuzhen/Lin Zhongxun in the final to win the championship. Falk/Carlsson currently ranks first in the men's doubles world and is also the biggest favorite to win this Grand Slam, with Falke/Carlsson facing the Austrian men's doubles Habersson/Gardos in the second round. In the first set, austria took the lead in the form, winning the first set 11-3. In the second set, Falke/Carlsson showed the strength of a world champion and quickly pulled back the set 11-5.
In the third set, the Austrian duo once again took the initiative on the field, winning another set 11-5. In the fourth set, the Austrian duo made a mistake at a crucial moment and Falke/Karlsson seized the opportunity to take the lead and equalize the aggregate again at 11-6. In the decider, Falk/Carlsson suddenly collapsed, and the Austrian combination quickly sealed the victory 11-4, thus defeating the men's doubles champion Falke/Carlsson of the new World Table Tennis Championships 3-2 on aggregate and successfully advancing. In another 1/8 final, the national table tennis ace combination Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin played against the Portuguese combination Ofelo / Apollonia, the two sides also had a fight, and finally Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin won 3-1 (11-8, 12-10, 9-11, 11-5) and successfully advanced to the men's doubles quarterfinals.
The next round of Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin will face the host Singapore combination Fu Shaofeng / Zhou Zheyu, the strength gap between the two sides is still very obvious, as long as both sides play normally, Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin should be able to advance to the semifinals, and from the current situation, Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin's main opponent is only the South Korean combination Lin Zhongxun / Zhang Yuzhen, the two sides may also be in the final, I hope Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin can achieve good results.
