On the evening of March 31, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Doha Star Tournament ushered in the final match of the mixed doubles, and Lin Yunru/ Zheng Yijing, the top seed combination from the Chinese Taipei team and the third place winner of the Tokyo Olympic Games, appeared on the stage to compete with the French combination and the 4th place winner of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Leibesson / Yuan Jiannan.
What people did not expect was that this time Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing not only lost the game, but also lost 0-3, and the French combination also issued a roar after winning: after the Olympic Games and medal losses, they held their breath for too long!
Lin Yunru/ Zheng Yijing, Lebesson / Yuan Jiannan are the second combination of Mizutani Hayabusa / Ito Mishimasa, Xu Xin / Liu Shiwen in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and their strength is not bad. Although both sides are paired with a left-handed male player and a right-handed child player, the playing style is very different:
Lin Yunru is good at quick articulation, four or two strokes of a thousand pounds, Lebison likes arc circle ball to pull against the bomb; Zheng Yijing likes the arc circle ball to pull the bomb, Yuan Jianan is a forehand glue fast attack athlete, it is indeed a very different style, so the game is also very interesting.
After the start of the game, the French combination took the lead and played very aggressively, after all, from the overall strength point of view, they were in the inferior position, so it was necessary to fight, and Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing was in the point of chasing points, but in the end, they lost the first set 8-11, with more mistakes and not fierce enough attack.
In the second set, Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing tried to break the opponent's offensive system, that is, the near platform was not attacked by Yuan Jiannan quickly, and at the same time avoided letting Lebison retreat more than half a step to pull the charge, which was good at first, but was quickly chased by the other side to the point of 7-8, forced to call out a timeout for adjustment.
After returning to the field, the French combination continued to exert its strength, not only stubbornly chasing the score, but also achieving a reversal at the last moment 14-12, Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing was forced into a desperate situation after falling behind 0-2, and Lebison issued a roar that resounded through the field while winning: this time, he was really eager to "revenge" success!
In the third set, Lin Yunru/ Zheng Yijing was reversed at the beginning of the game, and finally lost the whole game 10-12. Before that, Lin Yunru and Zheng Yijing lost in the men's doubles and women's doubles finals respectively, and now the mixed doubles have been defeated miserably, each taking 2 runners-up, it is difficult to be satisfied, and it is expected that they can stage a wonderful showdown with Lebison/Yuan Jiannan again next time.
