On March 20, 2022, Beijing time, the WTT Regular Season Challenge Doha station ended the second day of the qualifying round. In the men's singles qualifiers, the two aces of national table tennis, Zhou Qihao and Sun Wen, were out of the cold. Zhou Qihao lost to Xu Haidong in the derby, and Sun Wen lost 3 consecutive sets, and was swept by a 18-year-old French teenager, which was a big surprise.
After the Tokyo Olympic Games, the national table tennis has been adjusted, Zhou Yu, Yan An, Fang Bo and other Mesozoic players left the national team, with Lin Shidong, Xiang Peng and other young players to accelerate growth, the competition in the men's table tennis team has become more intense, the pressure came to Zhou Qihao, Sun Wen and other players, their age has no advantage, it can be said that the opportunity to participate in the competition is more and more precious.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qihao and Sun Wen disappointed the fans again, and in the low-level competition, they not only could not compete for the championship, but even could not enter the main game. In the second round of the men's singles qualifier, Zhou Qihao lost 2-3 to Xu Haidong, sun Wen won three consecutive sets in the case of losing one set first, eliminated Cao Wei 3-1, and broke into the third round of the qualification round.
In the third round of the qualifiers, Sun Wen suddenly fell into a slump, facing the 18-year-old French youngster Alex Lebrun, Sun Wen lost three consecutive sets 7-11, 7-11, 4-11, and it can be seen from the score that Sun Wen played too poorly. Alex Le Brun is ranked 359th in the world, but he can beat the national table tennis power player Sun Wen, and it is a sweeping way, which is surprising.
Don't forget, Sun Wen is also the bitter lord of Zhang Benzhihe, who swept Zhang Benzhihe in the high-level tour, which is impressive. Nowadays, Sun Wen is even difficult to enter the main competition, and it is a low-level event, which makes people helpless.
After the second round of the qualifier, Zeng Beixun, Yuan Licen, Liu Dingshuo, Xue Fei, Xu Yingbin and Xu Haidong advanced to the final round of the qualifiers. Next, Xu Haidong and Xu Yingbin played a derby, Liu Dingshuo and Xue Fei played a derby, Zeng Beixun played against Alex Lebrun, and Yuan Lizen played against Greece's Ionices.
In the women's singles, Yang Huijing, Zhu Sibing, Shi Xunyao, Zhang Rui, Qi Fei and Fan Siqi reached the final round of the qualifiers, Zhu Sibing and Shi Xunyao played a derby, and several other players had to play against players from the foreign association. Low-level competitions are a good opportunity for young players to accumulate experience, and I hope that players can unload their burdens and give full play to their technical abilities, so that they can win more opportunities for themselves!
