Table tennis WTT Doha Star Tournament is in full swing, Beijing time on March 26, the women's doubles event broke out a cold goal, the two famous Polkanova (Austria), Szokos (Romania) was eliminated, after 4 rounds of hard fighting to stop the second round of the qualifiers, and not long ago they reached the women's doubles final four of the WTT Grand Slam, and even almost spelled Ito Mimako / Hayata Xena!
This competition because the Chinese team all abandoned the women's doubles event, so naturally there is no chance to compete for the championship, and now the qualifiers are out of the game, it seems that the competition has become more suspenseful, but the Japanese combination Nagasaki Miyu / Kihara Miyu has the advantage, a few days ago won the Doha regular season women's doubles championship they will win another championship this time.
Polkanova and Szokos are the top European female table tennis players, and they are also athletes who can attack the main force of national table tennis in international competitions. Although from different countries, the two women have been working very well together recently, beating their opponents in consecutive WTT Grand Slams to advance to the semi-finals, and almost pulling down the world runner-up duo of Yoshimachi Ito/Hina Hayata.
So although the two of them will participate in the qualification round of this WTT Doha Star Tournament, everyone is still very optimistic that they can achieve good results, after all, they can play with Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina to the tiebreaker only 2 points apart, how can it be a generalist? However, it turns out that competitive sports can happen in any way.
After the women's doubles showdown began, Polkanova/Szokos' first-round opponent was the Singaporean duo of Shu Linxi/Zhou Jingyi, which was stress-free for the two, and soon won 3-0 and won, and the small score in each set was even more hanging (11-5, 11-3, 11-1).
Immediately after, Polkanova/Szokos met a pair of "high and low" players in the second round, that is, Zheng Yijing of Chinese Taipei (ranked 12th in the world, having won a silver medal in the World Cup singles and a bronze medal in the Olympic mixed doubles) / Li Yuzhen (ranked 147th in the world).
In terms of personal technology, Zheng Yijing may be stronger than Polkanova and Szokos, but Li Yuzhen's words are too bad, so their combination is typical of a master partner and a low-level athlete, if the cooperation is not good, it is easy to appear that the master wants to use one person as two people.
After the start of the match, Polkanova/Szokos took the top spot 11-6 and quickly took the advantage. But then the Chinese Taipei combination began to threaten, first with 11-8, 11-9 consecutive two sets to achieve a reversal, the fourth set of the two sides fought until 10 draws before the victory and defeat, and finally Zheng Yijing / Li Yuzhen won a 13-11 victory, the big score 3-1 elimination of the opponent to advance to the main stage.
With the exit of Polkanova/Szokos and the total abandonment of the national table tennis tournament, the women's doubles event of the current Doha Star Tournament has become more and more favorable to Japan's former world number one duo Nagasaki Miyu/Kihara Miyu, and these two youngsters (Nagasaki Miyu 19 years old, Kihara Miyu 17 years old) have only easily won the championship in the Doha regular season a few days ago, who can stop them this time?
At present, the national table tennis has ended all the doubles battles of the Doha Star Tournament ahead of schedule, of which the mixed doubles and women's doubles have not registered, and the men's doubles are a pair of combinations withdrawing, and a pair of combinations (Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei) are out of the first round, so next we still pay attention to everyone's performance in the singles event: Come on, China!
