Today, March 28, the Doha Star Game continues. In addition to Fan Siqi and Qian Tianyi's upset defeat to Miyu Kato and Batla yesterday afternoon, the women's singles had bad news, that is, Liu Weishan lost to Nagasaki Miyu in five sets, with the scores of 11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 10-12, 4-11 in the fifth set. In this way, the only women's singles players are Qi Fei and Zhang Rui, but fortunately, Zhao Zihao Yuan Licen and Liu Dingshuo defeated their opponents to advance to the second round of the main tournament.
Feeling that the women's singles field is a bit miserable, last November's WTT Slovenia Challenge, Liu Weishan also won the championship with a 4-1 victory over veteran Ni Xialian, this time losing to Japan's Nagasaki Miyu, it seems that they still want to strengthen their technical strength and mentality. The fighting last night and early this morning was as follows:
Liu Dingshuo 3-1 Ovidu Jonescu (11-9, 11-9, 10-12, 11-8)
Yuan Lichen 3-0 Ahmad Khalil al Muhannadi (11-4, 11-9, 11-4)
Cho Zi-ho 3-1 Ahn Jae-hyun (11-8, 11-7, 5-11, 11-4)
Sharas Kamal Achanta 3-1 Emmanuel Le Besson (11-5, 9-11, 11-6, 11-9)
Châtien Nanasekaran 3-0 Alvaro Robertus (12-10, 11-4, 11-4)
Zhang Rui 3-1 Shao Jieni (11-6, 11-1, 4-11, 13-11)
Ziffy 3-1 Sabine Winter (11-5, 11-5, 9-11, 11-8)
Liu Weishan 2-3 Nagasaki Grapefruit (11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 10-12, 4-11)
Miyu Kihara 3-1 Tsudama (7-11, 11-5, 11-4, 11-2)
Zhang An 1-3 Tetiana Bilenko (8-11, 11-9, 6-11, 5-11)
It can be seen that the Japanese young players have played quite steadily, and the young players such as Zhang Benmei and Miyu Kato and Miyu Nagasaki and Miyu Kihara have successfully advanced. So Qi Fei and Zhang Rui must refuel and defend the honor of national table tennis.
