In the men's singles semifinals of the Doha Star Challenge, Zhou Qihao, the only national table tennis player, faced Anuna, an African brother, and was taught a harsh lesson, and was swept 0-3. At this point, the national table tennis men's and women's teams participating in the Doha Star Challenge are all out, and finally know the reason why Malone Xu Xin has not retired.
In this Doha Star Challenge, in order to train the newcomers and the players of the reserve team, the Table Tennis Association did not let the main force of the first team go, but chose players like Qian Tianyi, Zhang Rui, Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo, who could not play in the first team, to pick the beam. In the women's table tennis, a total of 11 people went, but in the qualifiers, 6 people were eliminated, 2 people were out in the first round of the main round, And Qi Fei was out again in the 32-16 match, and Zhang Rui lost to Chen Siyu 1-4 in the 1/4 final, so that the national table tennis women's singles took the lead in all out.
In terms of men's table tennis, the national table tennis team sent a total of 8 players, but after entering the top 8, only Zhou Qihao was left. Zhou Qihao fans did not have a very good evaluation of him, thinking that he was a civil war king and a foreign war worm. At the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Zhou Qihao was the first person to get out of the national table tennis, and it was the foreign war that he lost.
Zhou Qihao's opponent in the quarter-finals is African brother Aruna, a player who has no coach to follow. Aruna is tall and tall, but the technique of table tennis is very delicate, although there is no coach, and it also makes opponents have to be in awe of his strength. Aruna's ball is also very good, remember WTT Singapore Grand Slam, a side ball of Malone, Malone and the referee did not find out, but he consciously stood up and admitted, and that ball is very critical, Malone also won over Aruna with that ball.
At this Doha Star Challenge, Aruna successively cut Zhao Zihao and Liu Dingshuo, so when Zhou Qihao had to face Aruna, he must also be playing drums in his heart.
In the first set, Aruna relied on the outstanding strength of his forehand to form a strength suppression of Zhou Qihao and made a good start of 7-1. Although Zhou Qihao later recovered some scores, he still lost a set 8-11 due to the fact that the pit was too large in the early stage.
In the second set, the two sides were very glued from the beginning, and after a 3-3 draw, Aruna scored consecutive points to widen the point difference to 7-3. Seeing this situation, Zhou Qihao had nothing to do, and the coach on the sidelines also frowned and seemed helpless. With a mistake by Zhou Qihao, Aruna took the set point 10-6. Facing Zhou Qihao's 2 consecutive points, Aruna appeared very calm, and did not have to pause to ease Zhou Qihao's scoring momentum, a long platform twist, 11-8 next city.
In the third set, Zhou Qihao knew that he could not afford to lose, so he chose to fight, and received a certain effect in the early stage, and fought with Aruna to a 6-6 draw. Then it was Aluna who took the lead in taking the points and forced Zhou Qihao to use the timeout. After the suspension returned, Zhou Qihao still had no way to deal with it, and finally lost another set at 7-11, thus being swept 0-3, so that the men's singles of national table tennis were completely destroyed like the women's singles.
It seems that I have never seen the national table tennis fight such a terrible battle, and finally know the reason why Ma Long and Xu Xin have not retired. Although Fan Zhendong of the first team has a good performance in the past year, there are many opponents who can fight with one, such as Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, Hugo and so on. In terms of women's table tennis, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha have not been able to find opponents in foreign wars for the time being. However, judging from the results of this Doha Star Challenge, it is really worth planning well by the Table Tennis Association, and it is not possible to let the national table tennis talents have a fault!
