Today, March 28, the WTT Doha Stars Tournament entered the second round of the main tournament. In the afternoon and evening matches, the Chinese team was also mixed, as Xue Fei won 3-0 to Slovenia's Dako, while Ziffy lost 0-3 to Monaco's Yang Xiaoxin. Yuan Lichen, who then appeared, also lost 1-3 to Germany's Francesca. Fortunately, Zhang Rui won 3-1 in the match with Solja to defend the honor of national table tennis, as follows:
In the first set, Zhang Rui was not very accustomed to Sol jia, losing the first set 8-11. However, after adapting to Solja's technology, Zhang Rui took advantage of the angle drop point and raw glue to take a 2-1 lead with two 11-3.
In the fourth set, Sorja led 4-1 at the beginning, but when Zhang Rui chased 3-4, Sorja wanted a timeout, suspended back Sorja to take a 6-4 lead in the middle of the game, 9-7 in the last set, Zhang Rui stepped up the fight to chase back two points 9-9, and then there was another tennis 10-9 lead, but Sorja chased two points in a row to 11-10 to overtake the score, Zhang Rui again chased the score, 11-11. In the handling of key balls, Zhang Rui used the change of angle landing point to win two consecutive points to win the fourth set 14-12, and finally defeated Solja 3-1 to advance to the next round of the game.
Congratulations to Zhang Rui, because after entering the second round of the main tournament, Ziffy lost to Yang Xiaoxin of Monaco, plus Fan Siqi also lost to Miyu Kato before, so that zhang Rui was left alone in the women's singles field. Last time, Zhang Rui single-handedly defended the lower half of the doha regular season, winning Zhang Benmei and Miyu Kihara to advance to the final, only to lose to Fan Siqi. I hope that this time Zhang Rui can go smoothly and be able to go to the end.
In fact, Zhang Rui, as an imitator of Ito Mimachi in recent years, has been serving as the sparring player of the main force of national table tennis, and his strength has been very good, and Solja, who can win the runner-up of the Olympic women's team, is also a proof of himself. But we hope that Zhang Rui can go farther and farther! Come on, Rui Zhang!
In addition, the Chinese player Han Ying defeated Zhang Benmeihe 3-1, and here is also congratulations to Han Yingjie, the success of the anti-Japanese resistance!
