On March 20, 2022, the table tennis Doha Challenge continued, a number of young players in the national table tennis participated in the singles qualifiers, the men's singles player Sun Wen was cold out of the game, losing to the 18-year-old French rising star Alex, Sun Wen performed poorly, lost three consecutive sets by the opponent, Sun Wen also became another male table tennis player who was eliminated in the qualifiers after Yu Ziyang, and the temporary play lacked stability.
National table tennis is currently participating in batches, 16 people in Singapore to play in the Grand Slam, 23 people to Qatar to participate in the Doha Challenge, followed by the Star Challenge, today is the last day of the Grand Slam, after the end of the full competition, the main members of the national table tennis team went directly to Doha, Qatar to participate in the competition, and their teammates converged, the Star Challenge won the championship with 600 points, and the Doha Challenge scored 400 points.
Sun Wen once swept the Japanese player Zhang Benzhihe 4-0 in the international arena, a battle of fame received more attention, and later he also defeated the main player Liang Jingkun, into the men's singles final four, last year's National Games Sun Wen partner Qian Tianyi, won the mixed doubles bronze medal, although sun Wen did not have too good performance in recent years, but overall it is still relatively stable, basically can play the main game, with teammates to complete the division.
Men's singles qualifier Sun Wen eliminated teammate Cao Wei 3-1 to advance to the third round, the next opponent is the French teenager Alex, who is 18 years old, ranked 359th in the world, and there is a straight-line playing Felix, who once defeated Chinese Taipei's zhuang Zhiyuan, the two brothers are the rising stars of French men's table tennis, of course, everyone is most familiar with Simon. Gautz, he is the main opponent of the national table tennis.
Comprehensive strength Sun Wen dominant, coupled with the experience of the big game, many fans are optimistic that he can easily qualify, but Sun Wen is not prepared enough before the game, too contemptuous of Alex, the result of the collapse, Alex won three consecutive sets of 11-7, 11-7, 11-4, and finally swept Sun Wen to advance to the fourth round of the men's singles qualifier, only one victory away from the main game, Sun Wen was eliminated from the foreign war defeat.
Through the recent competition, it is not difficult to see that the national table tennis men's team is not the main force, and there is no absolute advantage in the competition with the players of the foreign association, whether it is Yu Ziyang or Sun Wen, who lost to unexpected opponents, had outstanding performances last year, and also participated in the world table tennis singles Zhou Qihao, this time eliminated by his teammates, partner Wang Manyu won the mixed doubles runner-up of the National Games, Cao Wei, once again stopped qualifying.
In the Doha regional table tennis national table tennis won 4 championships and 4 runners-up, but because the level of the event is not high, many opponents have not registered, and now come to the challenge with higher gold content, it is relatively difficult to play, and it will be difficult to play at that time, and whether the young players can achieve good results again, let us wait and see.
