The WTT regular season challenge in Doha continues, and in the already concluded matches, the national table tennis players as a whole played brilliantly. Among them, including Yang Huijing, Shi Xunyao, Fan Siqi, Qi Fei, Zhang Rui, Zhao Zihao and Yuan Licen and other national table tennis players have advanced to the second round; it is worth mentioning that Yuan Licen, born in 2000, defeated the famous Lin Yunru 3-1. In this case, on March 23, the key schedule of the WTT Regular Season Challenge was released, and Zhang Benzhi and his sister competed. Details are as follows:
What is the schedule for the WTT Regular Season Challenge on March 23?
According to the official website of the International Table Tennis Federation, on March 23, a total of women's doubles semifinals, men's doubles semifinals, men's and women's singles quarterfinals and men's and women's singles semifinals competed. Among them, the key schedules are:
1. Women's Doubles Semifinals: [3 p.m.] - Chen Siyu / Huang Yihua (Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Team) VS Tian Zhixi / Liang Xiaying (Korean Table Tennis). It has to be said that Tian Zhixi/Liang Xiaying's bad luck, just recently lost to the Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu combination, and now has to challenge the players from the Chinese Taipei team.
2. Men's Doubles Semifinals: [3:50 p.m.] - Cao Wei / Xu Yingbin (national table tennis) VS Falke / Karlsson (Swedish table tennis team). Compared with the young Cao Wei/Xu Yingbin, Falke/Carlsson is a world-class player, who won the championship by defeating several groups of strong players including the national table tennis team Liang Jingkun / Lin Gaoyuan at the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships.
3. Women's Singles 1/4 Final: [6 p.m.] - Qi Fei (national table tennis) vs Yang Huijing (national table tennis). Compared with veteran Yang Huijing, Qi Fei showed more momentum in this competition, eliminating zheng Yijing, Diaz and many other good players. It is foreseeable that the head-to-head confrontation between the two national table tennis players will inevitably look good.
4. Women's singles semifinals: [6 p.m.] - Fan Siqi (national table tennis) vs Shi Xunyao (national table tennis). In the competition hosted by the International Table Tennis Federation, the two national table tennis players did not meet. So who will have the last laugh in this battle? It's worth looking forward to!
5. Women's Singles Semifinals: [6:45 p.m.] - Zhang Rui (national table tennis) vs Zhang Ben Meihe (Japanese table tennis). Born in 2008, Zhang Benmeihe has shown amazing talent, so can she beat the veteran zhang Rui of national table tennis? Let's wait and see!
6. Men's Singles Semifinals: [7:30 p.m.] - Zhao Zihao (national table tennis) vs Yuan Licen (national table tennis). Previously, Zhao Zihao had defeated Yuan Licen 4-0, so this time they fought again, could Yuan Licen fight back?
The men's and women's singles semi-finals will start at 10pm, the exact list to be determined! In addition, CCTV and Migu will conduct a joint live video broadcast of this event!
What happened to Zhang Benzhi and his sister in battle?
Most fans only know about the famous Japanese table tennis player Zhang Benzhihe, but they have not heard that he also has a sister named Zhang Benmeihe. According to the data, Zhang Benmeihe, who was born in 2008, began to contact table tennis under the influence of his parents and brother, and won all the gold medals in the women's singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles and team events of the Table Tennis World Youth Championships U15 in 2021.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Benzhihe's sister is not eligible to participate in this competition, but Zhang Benmeihe qualified for the competition with a wild card. Surprisingly, Zhang Benmei, who is only 14 years old, has passed the level and defeated famous players such as Zhonggeman and Feng Tianwei. For zhang Rui, a national table tennis player, perhaps only by letting go can he defeat the morale-boosting Zhang Benmeihe!
Finally, I would like to ask, do you think Zhang Rui can beat Zhang Benmeihe? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
