In the early morning of March 22, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Doha regular season ended the first regular season of the competition, the result is a series of cold, there are currently 4 world champions in the singles match, namely Falke, Karlsson, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Liang Xiayin, in addition to Francesca, Aruna, Du Kaixuan and other famous players have also been broken.
At present, only 2 people are still fighting in the national table tennis men's singles, and there are still 5 people in the women's singles, of which the men's singles runner-up liu Dingshuo of the National Games was swept away in a 0-3 defeat in the foreign war, and Xu Haidong and Qian Tianyi suddenly withdrew from the game and gave up the fight. Next, the national table tennis players will usher in the test of strong enemies Lin Yunru, Nagasaki Miyu and others, or there will be a vicious battle!
See below for details of the game and the latest fixture schedule.
The Doha regular season national table tennis sent 12 men and 11 women to play, which is basically the same as the Doha regional tournament, but there are 4 fewer men. However, in the qualifying stage, we suffered heavy losses, 20 people came on, 12 people were eliminated, of which the main player of the World Table Tennis Championships, Zhou Qihao, lost to his teammate Xu Haidong, and the World Cup champion Yu Ziyang lost to Chinese Taipei athlete Huang Yancheng.
According to the original plan, the national table tennis should have 11 people playing in the singles competition, including 4 men's teams and 7 women's teams, and as a result, Xu Haidong and Qian Tianyi suddenly withdrew, and the Internet rumors were due to injury reasons, so only 9 people were left to play, and then the 9 people's battle situation was mixed and worried.
On the men's side, the runner-up of the National Games, Liu Dingshuo, lost 0-3 to Brazilian fierce player Hugo Calderano, but considering that the other side is the world's third-ranked player, this ball is not a cold goal, after all, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Pol, Zhang Benzhihe and others have been planted in his hands.
Zhao Zihao and Yuan Licen played steadily, eliminating Chinese Taipei world champion Zhuang Zhiyuan and India's Ghanaese Karan with 3-1 and 3-0 scores respectively. Next, Zhao Zihao will play with Denmark's Gross, who swept the national table tennis rising star Xiang Peng at the Grand Slam; Yuan Licen will face the Chinese Taipei genius Lin Yunru, this battle is not easy to fight!
In the women's singles, liu Weishan, a national table tennis player, lost to Yang Huijing in the civil war, while Fan Siqi, Shi Xunyao, Qi Fei and Zhang Rui all successfully passed the foreign war. Among them, it is especially worth mentioning the direct shooting player Qi Fei, who easily eliminated the world runner-up of the Chinese Taipei team and the Olympic runner-up Zheng Yijing 3-0, which is really good!
Fan Siqi's next opponents will be the Swedish chipper Bergstrom who eliminated top seed Du Kaixuan, Shi Xunyao will face Japan's Miyu Nagasaki (who defeated Ito Mimako earlier this month), Yang Huijing will face Puerto Diaz, Ziffy will face Hong Kong's Li Haoqing, and Zhang Rui will face Polkanova, an Austrian player and Grand Slam women's singles quarterfinalist.
In terms of foreign associations, Chinese Taipei world champion Zhuang Jiyuan just mentioned that he was eliminated by Zhao Zihao 3-1; Sweden's two world champions Falke and Carlsson lost to Gross (Denmark) and Ahn Jae-hyun (South Korea) with scores of 1-3 and 2-3 respectively; as for The Korean women's table tennis world champion Liang Xiayin, he was defeated by 17-year-old French youngster Pavard 3-1.
Words of other famous players: Francesca only beat Xu Xin a few days ago, but this time he was eliminated by Japan's Shen Qiaoye 3-2; Aruna lost 1-3 to South Korea's Lin Zhongxun after a bitter battle; Du Kaixuan lost 1-3 to Bergstrom; Zhang An lost to Li Haoqing 2-3 - the results of these games are somewhat unexpected, it is really a win or loser!
As for the doubles, there were also many unpopularities, the women's doubles top seed Diaz sisters (Puerto Rico) lost to the Slovenian players, the national table tennis "only seedling" Qian Tianyi / Liu Weishan lost 0-3 to the Swedish combination, Lin Yunru and Zhuang Zhiyuan both collapsed with their respective partners in the men's doubles qualifiers.
This Doha regular season national table tennis did not register for the mixed doubles event, the women's doubles only one pair of combinations to play, so now has been completely destroyed, only the men's doubles and Cao Wei / Xu Yingbin there is hope of impacting the championship, but they are likely to face the world champion combination Falke / Carlsson before the semi-finals, the pressure is huge!
Finally, I wish the athletes of the Chinese team can face the difficulties, strive to overcome the strong enemy, and win the championship of 3 events: Come on, everyone!
