With Fan Zhendong's consecutive straight-line attacks, he also scored the last point in the third set to win Francesca 3-0 on aggregate to win the final four places in a Singapore Grand Slam tournament. The scores were in three sets: 11-4, 11-7 and 11-8. In this way, the four players who have entered the men's singles final four have all been produced, they are Yukiya Utada from Japan, and the three main players from the national table tennis: Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Fan Zhendong. With all the men's singles finalists out, the semi-final matchup has also been formed, that is, Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun, Fan Zhendong vs Yukiya Utada. I believe that the final championship battle will definitely be staged between the two main players of national table tennis, and I hope that everyone will maintain their continuous attention to the back games at any time.
Back to the semi-finals between Fan Zhendong and Francesca itself, and Francesca's promotion process in the last round. Because in the last round of the game, Francesca unexpectedly broke out of the cold, 3-2 victory over the national table tennis veteran Xu Xin, so it can be said that his combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated. Of course, even if some fans believe that Xu Xin's personal singles strength now has a clear downward trend, his loss to Francesca is also due to the strength of the two sides now. In fact, we can't think exactly that either. After all, in all the previous 10 encounters, Xu Xin maintained a total victory, but the recent injury reasons, coupled with the fact that there was no high-level game to play for a long time, the training time was relatively short, and the systematization of training also needed to be improved, so Xu Xin in the game, in fact, in the case of the dominant situation, because of the self-loss and unnecessary mistakes, there was a reversal of Francesca in the fourth and fifth sets.
And it is precisely because of Xu Xin's defeat and encounter reversal that Fan Zhendong made sufficient difficult preparations when facing Francesca, it can be said that he mobilized his own state at the beginning, and also let everyone feel that he and his performance in the previous rounds of the game have a significant improvement in state and concentration. Sure enough, in the first set of the game, Fan Zhendong entered the state quickly, in the offensive stalemate link, as well as the serve and the first three boards of the link are fully dominant, it can be said that without any effort, it achieved a 5-1, 8-2 and 10-3 lead, and won the first set with an 11-4 score, and achieved a 1-0 lead in the set. In the second set of the game, although Francesca stepped up the attack and opened the game to take a 3-1 and 5-4 lead, Fan Zhendong quickly stabilized his mentality and took the initiative to mobilize Francesca in two large angles, so that the other party could not return the ball in the case of standing, in the middle and back innings, Fan Zhendong also gradually caught up with the score and achieved a counter-overtake, 11-7, Fan Zhendong won the second set of the game.
In the third set of the game, Francesca still thought of some ways, but also improved the situation, even if he was 1-4 behind, he also achieved a 5-5 score, and even surpassed to 7-5 counterattack. However, there were problems and difficult moments on the field, Fan Zhendong still believed in his offensive ability, he was one left and one right, one front and one right, forehand and backhand back and forth to move Francesca, this tactic also let Fan Zhendong play more and more released, from 7-7 draw step by step to open the gap to 10-8, with Francesca's return ball but not net, 11-8, Fan Zhendong completely controlled the situation at the end of the set, easily won the third set, thus eliminating Francesca with a 3-0 score, helping Xu Xin to successfully avenge at the same time, This also locked the fourth men's singles top 4 place. In this way, the national table tennis players occupy three places in the final four. We believe that the three national table tennis players will continue to contribute to our stable performance in the semi-finals, and will certainly achieve the goal of the final of the meeting. Of course, if the dragon fat battle can be staged again, it will definitely be the most anticipated thing for many fans.
