Table tennis WTT Doha star competition is in full swing, Beijing time on the evening of March 28, the national table tennis men's team dark horse Yuan Licen planted a head - as a young star who beat Ma Long and Lin Yunru in the cold, Yuan Lichen only won the WTT Doha regular season men's singles championship a few days ago, but this time he was eliminated in the second round of the star game 1-3, not even scored in the round of 16, and the final set was a fiasco.
However, we can't blame Yuan Licen for not being able to do it, after all, his opponent is the German fierce general Francesca who has defeated Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan: losing to him is not unjust, I hope that young people will sum up the lessons well, and they will not be proud of victory and defeat!
Born in 2000, Yuan Licen is a national table tennis player who has recently risen very fast, he has twice beaten grand slam Malone in domestic competitions, and this month's WTT Doha regular season beat Lin Yunru, showing the vitality of young players.
However, Francesca's record is more brilliant than that of Yuan Licen, who once overturned three national table tennis world champions in 2019, broke through Xu Xin's defense at this month's WTT Grand Slam, and also won the men's singles championship at the European Championship. In the face of such a strong enemy, Yuan Licen, who is not rich enough in foreign combat experience, can only fight each other, win the ball and earn, if you lose, it should be tuition.
After the start of the game, the two sides played inextricably in the first two sets, Yuan Lichen left-handed cross-tapped the offensive line flexibly, and Francesca's right-handed cross-tapping arc was strong, both sides had their own strengths, it can be said that they were not divided, the result was that the German fierce general 11-9 first, and then the Chinese youngster returned the other side a 11-9, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
However, the next game began to gradually enter the rhythm of Francesca, this player not only has a strong backhand in the tradition of Europeans, but also has a very strong forehand, and at the same time can stand on the near stage, which is very rare, and naturally gives Yuan Lichen a huge pressure.
Soon, Francesca won 11-8 in the third set, and then broke through the fourth game, and finally ended the battle easily at 11-4, eliminating Yuan Licen at a large score of 3-1 and advancing to the men's singles round of 16: this time it is really impossible to play, and Xiao Yuan has tried his best.
It is worth mentioning that Fan Siqi, a national table tennis women's team player who also won the championship in the WTT Doha regular season, has also been out, losing 3 consecutive sets to Japan's Miyu Kato in a 2-0 lead, it seems that the state of young athletes fluctuates a lot, I hope Liu Guoliang and the coaching staff can give them more opportunities to experience: come on!
