WTT Doha Star Tournament has become the graveyard of seeded players, in the singles competition for the round of 16, there are as many as 6 who are considered to be strong opponents of national table tennis and are the leaders of various associations, and they were unexpectedly eliminated, and the top seed of women's singles, Hong Kong, China, Du Kaixuan, lost 1-3 to South Korea's naturalized player Zhu Qianxi, who did not even have a world ranking. At present, The top 6 masters of The World Rankings, Such as Darko, Moregaard, Simon Gordz, Diaz, Zheng Yijing and Du Kaixuan, have missed the round of 16.
Slovenia's Dako Jokic is the winner of the 2022 European Table Tennis Men's Singles Round of 16, he jumped to the 11th place in the world with the status of the new European Champions League champion, ranking directly to the 10th national table tennis player Lin Gaoyuan, Dako's COSCO Taiwan holding technology is very strong, with the typical European male player's pull and anti-pull technology, but in the face of the national table tennis player Xue Fei's straight board fast attack, the first three boards are fully suppressed, powerful can not be issued, by Xue Fei straight down 3 sets of cold knockout elimination, Xue Fei, as the only national table tennis player in the upper half of the men's singles of this star competition, continues to continue the hope of national table tennis to win the men's singles championship and runner-up.
Sweden's Moregaard since last year's Houston World Table Tennis Championships won the men's singles runner-up, gradually replaced Falke as the Leader of the Swedish men's team in the men's singles, the current world no. 14 Moregaard in addition to the World Table Tennis Championships runner-up, the open champion has not been taken, the play is still not stable enough, facing Croatia's veteran Gasina, a player who has not had a record in the competition for a long time, Moregold actually collapsed in the decider, and was won by the opponent for 10 points, The 2-3 defeat only shows that in addition to the technical ups and downs, his mentality is also very immature.
France's Simon Gautz lost 3-0 to South Korea's Lim Jong-hoon. Simon Gautz world ranking once approached the top 10, but the past two years of poor results have led to a retreat of about 20 places, is still a French brother, he and Lin Zhongxun's confrontation process can be seen, whether it is the first three boards or the back of the playing of the holding technology, Simon Gautz is fully inferior, there is no attack and no defense, Lin Zhongxun won is not unexpected. With the rise of young players Cassin, Alex, Felix, etc., Simon Gauts and Lebison are afraid that their main position in French men's table tennis will be shaken in the future.
World no. 9 Puerto Rican player Diaz this game against Japan's raw rubber young player Miyu Kihara, the whole game did not show the level of Diaz's world top 10, but Kihara Miyu frequently launched attacks, backhand bounce, fast tear, twisting technology is very sharp and active, Diaz due to the lack of connection in the first few boards, often began to fall into a passive situation, and finally was swept out by Kihara Miyu 3-0.
Chinese Taipei's Zheng Yijing faced Swedish chipper Bogström, and the duo fought to the decider Zheng Yijing 2-3. After beating Du Kaixuan last week, Borgstrom won again over Asia's top female players this week, Zheng Yijing and Du Kaixuan in the international competitions in the past year, in addition to Du Kaixuan's defeat of Wang Manyu in the finals last year, the rest of the international competitions even European players often beat the two of them, it is difficult to guarantee to walk in front of the national table tennis players.
As the number one seed in women's singles, The first sister of Hong Kong, China, Du Kaixuan, planted again this time, following last week's loss to Swedish chipper Bogstron, this week is a big hit 1-3 loss to South Korea's Zhu Qianxi, the latter has no world ranking, is South Korea's naturalized team from China, can actually beat the Chinese Hong Kong sister, it can be seen how strong the strength of an ordinary team member at the grass-roots level in China, it is this powerful pyramid model that provides a guarantee for the national table tennis to always maintain a strong overall combat effectiveness. The local players in front of the South Korean women's team are only Xu Hyo-won, a 34-year-old veteran, who is slightly competitive internationally, and the rest of the players are basically hanging in the international arena, only relying on naturalized national table tennis players to compete for honor, Tian Zhixi, Choi Hyo-joo participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, as well as kim Ha-young, Zhou Tianhui, Zhu Qianxi and other players will stand out from the korean internal competition in the future, I am afraid that the South Korean women's team in the Paris cycle can only use five or six naturalized players to fight together.
