A sudden news came from the WTT Doha regular season, and the only remaining pair of doubles pairs in the national table tennis team, Cao Wei/Xu Yingbin, suddenly announced their withdrawal before the men's doubles semifinals. The official has not yet given a specific reason for the withdrawal, but in the semi-final stage of the temporary withdrawal, there must be something unknown, can only quietly wait for the national table tennis to announce the specific reason.
Since the start of the Doha regular season, many members of the national table tennis team have withdrawn from the game, although the reason given is physical injuries, but the large-scale injuries are still difficult to understand, fans are now very worried about the physical condition of Cao Wei and Xu Yingbin, after all, there is a great risk of infection when fighting abroad. Now the main players of the national table tennis team have withdrawn from the Doha Star Game, leaving only some marginal national players to participate in the regular season, as well as the star game.
The women's doubles duo of Liu Weishan / Qian Tianyi was already out of the 1/8 final as early as the morning, and the only remaining pair Xu Yingbin / Cao Weihong advanced to the doubles semifinals 3-0, and the semifinal opponent was Houston men's doubles champion Falke / Carlson. Even if you can't beat your opponent to advance to the final, it's a rare opportunity to exercise. The sudden withdrawal is a loss both for the national table tennis and for the 2 young players.
Under normal circumstances, national table tennis rarely withdraws temporarily, and such a thing is most likely related to injuries or epidemic risks. Moreover, the players who participated in the singles competition of the national table tennis did not announce their withdrawal, and they still had to continue to compete in the singles 1/4 finals, and only the doubles combination withdrew, indicating that the specific problem was still xu Yingbin/Cao Wei. From here, it can also be seen that the main force of national table tennis withdrew from the Doha Star Game, which is undoubtedly a wise move.
The players have just finished a Grand Slam tournament and won 5 championships, and their bodies have long had a fatigue reaction. In particular, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, who played three events throughout the Grand Slam, need to recover for a while to better prepare for the Asian Games and the Team World Championships. The situation in Doha is very bad, after participating in the Doha regular season, the coaching staff may give up participating in the star game, but directly choose to return to China to rest.
Now we can only hope that Cao Wei and Xu Yingbin have no major problems, if only the body has an injury, recover for a period of time, afraid of the occurrence of unknown events, this is the most worrying thing for fans. The national table tennis players are still trying to compete for the men's and women's singles championships in the Doha regular season, and then they must continue to cheer for the players who have not retired, strive to win the final championship, and successfully conclude the Doha event. As long as you can return home safely, it doesn't matter if you can win the championship.
