In the men's and women's singles semi-finals competition that ended in the early hours of this morning, the national table tennis won a comprehensive victory, with three people advancing to the final. First of all, Fan Siqi defeated Qi Fei 4-2 to advance to the women's singles final, and then Zhang Rui defeated Japan's Kihara Miyu 4-0 to meet Fan Siqi in the final, and the national table tennis won the women's singles championship and runner-up in advance.
In the men's singles semifinals held in the early morning, the national table tennis teenager Yuan Lichen narrowly defeated India's famous Achanta 4-3 to advance to the final, and his opponent was Qiu Dang, who represented Germany with Chinese players. Qiu advanced to the final by narrowly defeating French rising star Alex 4-2 in another semi-final.
The first seed Hugo and the second seed Lin Yunru, as well as Sweden's Fark and Germany's Francesca were all out early, but Yuan Lizen, who was ranked 264th, and Qiu Dang, who was ranked 32nd, reached the final. It seems that Yuan Licen is expected to be black to the end. After all, Yuan Licen, Zhang Rui, and Fan Siqi all reached the final from the qualification round, although the world ranking is not high, but the ranking does not necessarily represent strength.
Yuan Licen is a young player who is the focus of national table tennis, he once beat Ma Long in the Table Tennis Super League last year, the basic skills are still very solid, the last stop in the Doha branch challenge, Yuan Licen also reached the final to get the men's singles runner-up, when he lost to his teammate Zhao Zihao in the final.
But this time he did not disappoint, starting from the qualifiers, winning eight consecutive matches to advance to the final. He knocked out the second seed Lin Yunru of Chinese Taipei, and then defeated Zhao Zihao in the last round, and defeated India's Achanta 4-3 in the semi-finals. After all, Ah Changta ranked 41st in the world, and his playing style was also very distinctive, and Yuan Lichen still laughed to the end.
Yuan Licen's opponent after advancing to the final is Qiu Dang, a Chinese player who represents Germany and is a player in the ascendancy period, who reached the quarterfinals of the Singapore Grand Slam tournament a few days ago. His father was the famous Japanese marshal Qiu Jianxin, who was once Cai Zhenhua's disciple, so he also had high-level guidance behind him. This afternoon's final Yuan Licen still has to be carefully prepared to win.
