Beijing time on March 30 news, WTT Star Challenge Doha Station women's singles 1/4 final, Zhang Rui 1-3 defeated Chen Siyu, the four sets of scores were 11-9, 4-11, 4-11, 4-11, in this regard, the national table tennis out of this station of the women's singles 11 people all out, did not qualify for the top 4, is a big cold. However, this is also expected by Liu Guoliang.
In this station, the national table tennis originally planned to send all the main forces, including Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, etc. But in the end, taking into account various objective factors and for the sake of the health of the athletes, the main players of the national table tennis returned to China collectively after participating in the Singapore Grand Slam and did not go to Doha to compete.
Therefore, those who come to Doha to compete are basically non-main or quasi-main players of national table tennis, counting the qualifiers and players who do not participate in the qualification rounds, there are as many as 11 women's singles participating!
However, the national table tennis women's singles station is indeed in poor shape, the first round of the qualifiers, Shi Xunyao, Chen Yi 2 people out; in the second round of the qualifiers, Zhu Sibing and Qin Yuxuan are also out. In the third round of the qualifiers, Zhongge Man and Yang Huijing were out. That is to say, only in the qualifiers, the national table tennis women's singles out of 6 people.
In the main game, Qian Tianyi, Fan Siqi, Liu Weishan, and Qi Fei were also quickly out.
Now, the national table tennis women's single Miao Zhang Rui is also out, facing Chen Siyu, Zhang Rui won first and then lost, losing 1-3.
Of course, the poor performance of the national table tennis is actually expected by Liu Guoliang, because the players are too tired to compete continuously, and their energy cannot keep up. Liu Guoliang is also helpless, for example, if the main player of the national table tennis does not participate in the Doha Challenge, it is not in the previous plan, but a temporary change of mind. In order to take into account the various events, the national table tennis is also fighting, trying to participate in WTT events.
Now, the safe return of athletes is the most important thing. Counting down, these players have been competing for 1 month in a row. Compared with the main players of national table tennis, these athletes are more hard. The fans sighed, "Continuous combat is hard, everyone has a good rest, summarize it well, and look forward to seeing each other in the next game." ”
