Prior to this, Glasmenko had defeated Yu Ziyang, the world champion of national table tennis, and Liu Dingshuo, the runner-up of the men's singles at the National Games: as a Player from a Central Asian country with a weak foundation in table tennis, these records have been very good, and we welcome him to continue to improve and challenge the Chinese team!
Glasmenko is a bright new star in the Central Asian table tennis world, he defeated Tai Ziyang as early as 2018, and last year he beat Liu Dingshuo at the WTT Slovenia Tournament, is a very good athlete, especially the forehand strength is very strong, which is rare in foreign associations.
However, after defeating Liu Dingshuo last year, Glasmenko failed to attack the championship, and it was Liang Jingkun who lost at that time, so this time he and Liang Jingkun played again, and everyone was relatively more optimistic about the main force of national table tennis to win, but the opponent will certainly do his best.
Sure enough, after the start of the game, the two sides played inextricably, Liang Jingkun started the lead and was equalized by Glasmenko, and then was taken the lead by the other side to get the set point, and finally 9-11 was reversed, losing very badly, which shows that Glasmenko's athlete's hard work is indeed very strong!
In the second set, Liang Jingkun began to pay attention to the restoration problem after the attack, made sufficient preparations for Glasmenko's near-platform rush, effectively avoided the situation of being crossed by the opponent, and soon the opponent had many mistakes, and this time Liang Jingkun did not give him another chance to overtake, and then pulled back a city at 11-6, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
In the third set, Liang Jingkun was mainly wary of the opponent's continuous attack from near Taiwan, so he was not in a hurry, but stood firm and played a battle with Grassmenko, a position battle, at which time his advantages could be reflected, and then he won 11-2 quickly, and the big score of 2-1 pushed the opponent into a desperate situation.
In the fourth set, Grassemenko had no way back, had to fight liang Jingkun, and at the beginning of the game, he achieved a 4-1 lead, but was soon caught up by Liang Jingkun's reversal, and the two sides continued to bombard each other, and finally Liang Jingkun locked up the victory 11-7, and the big score was 3-1 to eliminate Glasmenko, taking the lead in advancing to the men's singles quarterfinals, congratulations to him!
A very exciting game, looking forward to more dark horse players in other parts of the world to promote the development of table tennis.
