On March 31, Beijing time, the ITTF Doha Star Challenge entered the final battle. At present, the men's doubles and women's doubles championships have been released. In men's doubles, the German duo Qiu Dang Duda successfully won the championship. In women's doubles, the Japanese duo Miyuki Nagasaki successfully won the championship. In terms of national table tennis, the losses were heavy, and all 19 people were eliminated and missed 5 championships. This time, Liu Guoliang's coaching team arranged for the second-tier main players to participate.
Today is the last match day, and the men's and women's singles champions will be born. At present, the list of the four strong women's singles has been released. In the final four seats, Zhang Rui, the only national table tennis player, faced Chen Siyu of Chinese Taipei. In the first set, Zhang Rui relied on the advantage of the first three boards to maintain the advantage of the score lead, 10:9 to get the set point, did not miss the opportunity, won a set 11:9 first, and led 1:0 in the big score.
In the second set, Zhang Rui made more unnecessary mistakes, Chen Siyu seized the opportunity to lock up the victory 11:4, and the two sides drew 1:1. In the third set, Chen Siyu frequently attacked and scored, the success rate was very high, Zhang Rui was good at no advantage in the first three boards, Chen Siyu won another set 11:4, and the big score was 2:1. In the fourth set, Zhang Rui's mentality collapsed, Chen Siyu was a drum, 11:4 locked up the win, the total score of 3:1 to advance to the four strong list.
With Zhang Rui's exit, the 11-person national table tennis women's singles competition has been completely destroyed, and there is no chance to compete for the women's singles championship. In other arenas, Japan's Miyu Kihara defeated Chinese player Yang Xiaoxin 3:1 on aggregate, Miyu Kato defeated South Korea's Tian Zhixi 3:1, and chipper Han Ying kept a 3:0 clean sheet against South Korea's Zhu Tianxi. Zhu Tianxi scored just 10 points in three sets. In the women's singles semifinals, chipper Han Ying faced Miyu Kato and Chen Siyu faced Miyu Kihara.
This group of second-tier players in the national table tennis team has continuously participated in the Oman Open, the Doha regular challenge, the star challenge, and the long-term competition, which seems a little tired. In particular, Qian Tianyi, Liu Weishan, Zhang Rui and others did not exert their due level and strength. In contrast, in the open tournament of this station, the Japanese women's singles can be described as a big victory, and the Japanese young player Zhang Benmei and the consecutive defeats of the national table tennis players Chen Yi, Qin Yuxuan, Zhong Geman, Qi Fei and others. Miyu Kato and Miyu Kihara also advanced to the final four.
In this open tournament, the main players of national table tennis Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu were absent, resulting in the failure to qualify for the top four. Such a result, both the coaching staff and the fans should be unexpected. It can also be found that the main force of the second line of national table tennis and the new generation of young players do not yet have the strength to wrench wrists with the masters of the foreign association. At present, if the national table tennis wants to win gold and silver, there is no Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and others, it is really not possible.
