During the Singapore Grand Slam, the Doha stage has begun, but the main game can not be played until after the end of the Grand Slam event, after all, there are also players who rush from Singapore to Doha, such as Caldrano, Lin Yunru, Francesca, etc., but some players may have paid a lot of energy in the Grand Slam and did not perform well in Doha. Francesca has been eliminated by her opponents. Let's take a look at the schedule of the Doha leg on March 22.
Doha 22 March fixtures
15.45, Men's Doubles Quarterfinals, Cao Wei / Xu Yingbin vs Polanski / Xilu Seck
17.40, women's singles quarterfinals, Diaz vs Yang Huijing
18.25, Women's Singles 1/8 Final, Shi Xunyao vs Nagasaki Miyu
The first match was played at 15.45 in the afternoon, the national table tennis doubles players Cao Wei and Xu Yingbin performed well, with tacit understanding, have broken into the men's doubles 1/4 final, facing this pair of unknown opponents, the two should continue, with the strength of Cao Wei and Xu Yingbin to win the game is not too much problem.
The matches between Diaz and Yang Huijing, as well as Shi Xunyao and Nagasaki Miyu, will surely attract the attention of fans, and these two strong dialogues are also a contest of strength and status. It seems that the endless emergence of young players has indeed injected fresh blood into the table tennis project.
19.10, men's singles quarterfinals, Zhao Zihao vs Grote
19.10, Women's Singles Quarterfinals, Borgstroom vs Versace
22.00, Women's Singles Quarterfinals, Li Haoqing vs Qi Fei
22.45, men's singles 1/8 final, Yuan Lichen vs Lin Yunru
23.30, women's singles quarterfinals, Polkanova vs Zhang Rui
From 19.10 in the evening, the first game is the game between Zhao Zihao and Grote, for Zhao Zihao, the strength must be there, otherwise it is impossible to defeat Zhuang Zhiyuan 3-1 in the first round, but Zhao Zihao's international field experience is still very lacking, each game for Zhao Zihao is a process of accumulation and learning of experience, let go of hands and feet, do not cower, play their own strength. You will be able to overcome difficulties.
The women's singles 1/8 finals were held at the same time, during this time, Fan Siqi's performance really left a deep impression on the fans, the strength was outstanding, the performance was stable, and there was obviously a feeling of many times competing in the international arena, which was the support of the state of strength, and this game, Fan Siqi should win without suspense.
The match between Li Haoqing and Qi Fei should be closely watched, because both of them defeated tougher opponents in the first round, Li Haoqing defeated Zhang An in the first round, and Qi Fei defeated Zheng Yijing in the first round, and both were swept by a score of 3-0, which proved that the two were in a very good state. This conversation in focus should be very exciting.
For Yuan Licen, this game should be a backwater battle, after all, in the face of the super strong Lin Yunru, Yuan Lichen has little chance of winning, and there is a big gap between experience and Lin Yunru, but the same young player, Yuan Licen should let go of everything, regardless of the final results, dare to fight, even if he loses, it does not matter, but will get the results he wants.
Women's singles 1/8 final a focus battle, the national table tennis player Zhang Rui will play against the Singapore Grand Slam women's singles quarter-final Polkanova, if not to meet the national table tennis players, I am afraid that with the state and strength of Polkanova, there is still hope for further progress. This shows that Polkanova's performance is now in line with her expectations. So in this game, Zhang Rui wants to win the game is not small, but it is not impossible.
summary
The higher-ranked athletes, after competing in the Singapore Grand Slam, really can't maintain their form, and the non-stop back and forth is also a side of the impact on the players, and the young players are like grand slams for such events, hoping to be the ultimate winners. Therefore, the first round of upset is not an accident, and entering the 1/8 final does not rule out the emergence of upset. The strong dialogue is not to be missed.
