On March 21, 2022, Beijing time, the WTT Regular Season Challenge Doha station entered the first match day of the main tournament. The first round of the women's doubles broke out, and the top seed Diaz sisters lost three consecutive sets in a 2-0 lead, and were reversed. The national table tennis women's doubles team Qian Tianyi / Liu Weishan lost 0-3 to a Swedish pair, so the national table tennis team did not win the women's doubles championship in advance.
The table tennis Grand Slam has just ended, the Doha main stage is coming, the main players of the national table tennis are absent collectively, and the young players and second-tier substitute players are still picking the beams. In the women's doubles arena, qian Tianyi / Liu Weishan, who represented the national table tennis team, participated in the previous side event in Doha and were in quite good shape.
Unfortunately, facing the Swedish duo of Bergstrom/Carlberg, Qian Tianyi/Liu Weishan lost three consecutive sets 8-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, and missed the quarterfinals. This result means that the national table tennis did not qualify for the women's doubles championship of the competition, and the mixed doubles did not register, and the national table tennis was equivalent to missing the two individual champions in advance.
The first round of the women's doubles also had a big upset, the top seed Diaz sisters in a 2-0 lead in the case of three consecutive sets, 2-3 lost to a pair of Slovenian combinations, tragically suffered a round of travel. In addition, Du Kaixuan / Zhu Chengzhu lost 1-3 to the Indian combination of Kamas / Batra, and also missed the quarterfinals.
Women's doubles favourites Tian Zhixi / Liang Xiayin easily passed the 3-0 level, and the Japanese duo of Miyu Kihara / Miyu Nagasaki reversed the promotion 3-1. The two pairs are separated into two halves, and the possibility of meeting in the final is very high. Of course, the Portuguese duo of Fu Yu/Shao Jieni is also very strong, and the two Chinese players will face Tian Zhixi/Liang Xiayin in the women's doubles quarterfinals, which is obviously a strong dialogue.
In the men's doubles, the national table tennis duo Xu Yingbin / Cao Wei broke through from the qualifiers, facing the South Korean combination Cho Dae-sung / Ahn Jae-hyun in the first round of the main match, Xu Yingbin / Cao Wei won three consecutive sets in the case of losing one set first, and advanced to the quarterfinals 3-1. In the quarter-finals, Xu Yingbin/Cao Wei's opponent is a Czech duo that is expected to continue to advance.
The top seed in men's doubles was World Table Tennis Men's Doubles Champion Falk/Carlsson, and the duo played well, beating France's Le Brun brothers 3-0. In addition, the Japanese combination and Chuan Ruiji / Shen Qiao also advanced to the quarterfinals 3-0, and the No. 2 seed, the German combination Qiu Dang / Duda also successfully passed. Xu Yingbin / Cao Wei want to compete for the men's doubles title, and the difficulty is indeed greater!
