On the evening of March 24, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Doha regular season men's doubles final kicked off, from Sweden's new World Table Tennis Champion group Falke / Carlsson appeared on the scene, and the German combination Otter / Walter to compete against the upset promotion, the result of the two world champions came up 0-2 behind the danger of explosion, fortunately in the back of the 3 consecutive sets to achieve a reversal, after winning the two people also excitedly embraced together.
Whether in terms of technology, results, rankings, Falke/Karlsson to win the championship is a very normal result, but they lost the WTT Grand Slam a few days ago, resulting in their own decline from the world ranking first to the fourth position, it seems that it is still a bit unstable, and whether the next World Table Tennis Championships can defend the gold medal is doubtful.
As we all know, last year's World Table Tennis Championships Chinese team won 4 championships, the only gold medal lost was the men's doubles, when Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun / Lin Gaoyuan was successively lost to Falke / Carlsson, which shows the strength of this pair, but the WTT Grand Slam did not play well, the round of sixteen was inferior to the Austrian combination of Gardos / Habison, which surprised people.
In the Doha regular season, Falke/Carlsson made a comeback and had the opportunity to compete with the national table tennis team, but Cao Wei/Xu Yingbin withdrew in the semi-finals, so the Swedes were escorted to advance to the final, competing for the championship with another German pair of German ace duo Duda/Qiu Dang, who had not been known before, but this time they defeated the German ace duo Duda/Qiu Dang.
After the start of the match, the Swedish combination appeared to make a lot of mistakes from the beginning, and soon fell behind. But face the lead. However, in the face of this excellent situation, Otter/Walter seemed to be suffering from gains and losses, and as a result, the 10-8 lead was equalized by the other side, but fortunately, it was still stable in the back, and it was not easy to win with a narrow victory of 15-13.
In the second set, the German duo was chased by the opening lead and soon called a timeout to adjust. After returning to the field, Otter/Walter once again won with a flexible line, and then went down 12-10 to the next city, with a 2-0 lead to force the world champion combination into a desperate situation, it seems that they can break the cold to advance to the final is really not without reason!
In the third set, the Swedish duo fought back and finally played the level of a world champion, and then pulled back a city 11-6, avoiding the fate of being swept away. In the fourth set, although Otter/Walter still cooperated tacitly, the technical level was not high, so once the attack failed, it would be in the downwind, and then 9-11 was lost, and the game was dragged into the decider!
In the fifth inning, both sides fought back and had to do their best. In these most tense moments, the world champion combination was clearly superior, and in the end, Falke/Carlsson successfully flipped the game after the start, and it was not easy to lock in the victory at 11-8, and the Performance of the German combination was enough to give us a thumbs up.
A very exciting duel, if there are national table tennis players involved, it is even better! Finally, I wish Xu Yingbin, who retired due to injury, a speedy recovery, and look forward to the Next Competition of the Chinese team to achieve better results: Come on!
