Yesterday (March 24), the 2022 WTT Doha Regular Season Challenge just came to an end. Today (March 25), the 2022 WTT Doha Star Challenge is about to start seamlessly.
Young players and second-tier players of national table tennis have fewer opportunities to participate in overseas competitions; and in the past two or three years, due to the impact of the epidemic, for the safety of players, non-main players of national table tennis have fewer opportunities to participate in international competitions. Although many national table tennis players have strong strength, the world ranking is very low, and every time they participate in an international competition, they have to start from the qualification round, including Fan Siqi, who just won the women's singles championship yesterday.
Fan Siqi is currently ranked 81st in the world, and she narrowly defeated teammate Zhang Rui yesterday to win the championship, but the points cannot be added immediately, so she must also start from the first round of the qualifiers to participate in the Star Challenge that starts today.
And this is not the most "cruel", the most painful is Shi Xunyao and Qi Fei, they staged a "national table tennis civil war" in the first round of the women's singles qualification tournament, no matter who wins or loses, for us, it is a loss.
Another game worthy of special attention is Zhang Benmei and vs Chen Yi, Chen Yi is a young player in national table tennis in 2004, while Zhang Benmeihe of Japanese table tennis is 4 years younger than her, but she has gradually emerged.
