The WTT Doha regular season has ended the singles quarterfinals competition, because many first-class masters have just participated in the Grand Slam, so they did not go to Doha to participate in the regular season, and even the main players of the national table tennis team have withdrawn from the next star game. However, this round of competition still broke out two major unpopularities.
The first is the men's singles field, the national table tennis teenager Yuan Li cen defeated the champion Lin Yunru 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. As a brother of Chinese Taipei, Lin Yunru participated in the Grand Slam Tournament, but unfortunately met the national table tennis Grand Slam Ma Long in the quarterfinals and missed the men's singles final four. After coming to the Doha regular season, I thought that without the obstruction of the main players of the national table tennis, Lin Yunru had a chance to win the championship, and as a result, Yuan Lichen broke out and forced Lin Yunru into a desperate situation, thus breaking the cold and advancing to the top 8.
And Lin Yunru is the No. 2 seed of this tournament, and the No. 1 seed is Brazil's caldelano. With Lin Yunru out, Calderano's probability of winning the championship has greatly increased. Yuan Licen also has the opportunity to compete for the men's singles championship with his record of defeating Lin Yunru.
Another unpopularity occurred in the women's singles arena, when Zhang Benzhi and his sister Zhang Benmei defeated Singaporean Star Feng Tianwei 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the latest edition of the world rankings, Feng Tianwei is still in the top 10 in the world and also participated in the Grand Slam tournament. Zhang Benmeihe is only a fledgling young player, just from the youth group event to the adult group event, can eliminate feng Tianwei such an experienced veteran, Zhang Benmeihe's potential is self-evident. Coupled with the leadership of his brother Zhang Benzhihe, Zhang Benmeihe is expected to become the main player of the Japanese table tennis women's team in the next Olympic cycle.
The Japanese team sent a total of 4 potential rising stars to participate in the Doha regular season, in addition to Zhang Benmei and advanced to the quarterfinals, Kihara Miyu and Kato Miyu also advanced to the top 8, only Nagasaki Miyu was defeated.
Miyu Kihara met a sister in South Korea, Tian Zhixi, although the opponent is an experienced veteran of the competition, the world ranking is also relatively high, and also participated in the Grand Slam tournament, but Kihara Miyu won 3-1 against Tian Zhixi with the impact of the youngster. Prior to this, Miyu Kihara had qualified for the Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships with her record of the women's singles final four in the Japan Round of 32.
Miyu Kato met Yang Xiaoxin, whose opponent was also an experienced veteran, and once created difficulties for Miyu Kato. However, the hard power of the new star of Japanese table tennis was even better, and finally eliminated Yang Xiaoxin 3-1 to advance. Miyu Kato and Miyu Kihara belong to a competitive relationship, and the competition of the new generation of Japanese table tennis is no less than that of the main player in active service.
Only Nagasaki Miyu was unfortunately out of the game and met the national table tennis player Shi Xunyao. Although Miyu Nagasaki was a top 4 player in the Japan Round of 32, she was given the opportunity to compete in the Chengdu Team World Championships like Miyu Kihara. However, in the face of Shi Xunyao, whose strength is close to the main level, Nagasaki Miyu appears to be inexperienced, and the overall offensive quality is not as good as that of the national table tennis players, and finally lost 0-3.
