The WTT Grand Slam tournament has ended the fifth day of the main competition, and the main players of the national table tennis have won all foreign battles except for the civil war. To say that the most tired player, undoubtedly Wang Chuqin, played three games in a day, 2 wins and 1 loss is still a good performance. Wang Chuqin lost to big brother Malone in the singles game in 5 rounds, and the decider was a bit impatient, and Was grabbed by Ma Long to score consecutive points, and finally regretted not reaching the quarterfinals.
The singles match out did not affect Wang Chuqin's doubles project, and in the men's doubles 1/4 final, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong defeated the host team Fu Shaofeng/Zhou Zheyu 3-1, in addition to playing a little difficult in the first set, the next three sets comprehensively suppressed the opponent. The most important thing is the mixed doubles semi-final, which is also Wang Chuqin's strongest project at present, with partner Sun Yingsha beating the Hong Kong combination of Huang Zhenting/Du Kaixuan 3-1.
The game was played very hard, the first set Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha changed from leading to backward, but fortunately, the key points were strong and won 14:12. In the second set, the Shatou combination continued to strengthen the change, Wang Chuqin used the backhand twist many times, and Sun Yingsha assisted her teammates, so that the Hong Kong combination lost the momentum of the first set to bite the score, taking two consecutive sets at 11:9. But Huang Zhenting and Du Kaixuan are worthy of the veterans who have been in the battlefield for a long time, and used the changes in the first three boards to win back a round. In the decider, the Shatou duo won 11:9 again to win this difficult match.
After reaching the final, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha will face No. 1 seeds Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing in the final. In the first mixed doubles semi-final, Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing eliminated the French duo of Lebison / Yuan Jiannan 3-1, showing the ability of the top seed. The national table tennis combination happens to be the No. 2 seed of the tournament, and can meet the attention of the public in the final. Although Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are the mixed doubles champions of the World Table Tennis Championships, there is no absolute king in the mixed doubles event, and it is necessary to study the tactics of Lin Yunru's combination in recent matches in advance, and it is difficult to compete with the No. 1 seed for the title.
Without the shackles of a singles match, Wang Chuqin can devote himself to the mixed doubles final. Obviously, Wang Chuqin's biggest task at the Paris Olympics is to play doubles, and it is even possible to be a triplet. That's why the coaching staff has been putting him in a triathlon lately to prepare for the Olympics.
However, to say that the most depressed player in the singles 1/8 finals is probably Ito Mimachi, a sister of Japanese table tennis. Originally, Ito Mimachi was waiting to play against the main force of national table tennis, and the next round could be against Wang Yidi. As a result, he lost 1-3 to France's Yuan Jiannan, directly breaking out the big upset of the Grand Slam tournament. After Yuan Jiannan advanced to the quarterfinals, he couldn't believe defeating Ito Mimachi, and Wang Yidi's wish to meet Ito Mimachi was frustrated. Wang Yidi eliminated Ito At last year's World Table Tennis Championships, and fans were expecting the two to play again, and as a result, Ito mimachi wasted his chances.
