After two weeks of fierce fighting, the national table tennis team finally ended the WTT Doha series, including one side race and two challenges, the performance of the national table tennis team members can be described as "high open low walk", as the three opponents are getting stronger and stronger, the points are getting higher and higher, and the last stop is directly no one to advance to the semi-finals of 5 individual events, which is rare in the past. Among them, Zhou Qihao, who became a member of the national table tennis team in 2013, once qualified for the men's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships last year, but in 10 years he has never won any international men's singles championship, not as good as Lin Gaoyuan in terms of results, and Fan Zhendong, who is the same age as Zhou Qihao, has long been ranked No. 1 in the world, except for the Olympic men's singles champion, the rest of the champions have won soft.
In the past Doha Star Tournament men's singles competition, veterans from Nigeria Arunalenk Liu Dingshuo, Zhao Zihao and Zhou Qihao, three national table tennis seniors, to know that among the three Liu Dingshuo is the men's singles runner-up of the National Games, Zhao Zihao won the doha regional championship men's singles championship, Zhou Qihao warmed up before the Tokyo Olympic Games Lian Ke Malone and Fan Zhendong won the championship, and the age is twenty-five or six years old, in the year of the fight, neither a veteran nor a young player, but was defeated by the bloated African lone ranger, Zhao Zihao and Zhou Qihao are 0-3 and do not see any hope of winning.
Born in 1997, Zhou Qihao is 25 years old this year, in the national table tennis men's team is close to the main position, according to the strength ranking of the 7th, after Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, he has the nickname of "nerve knife", which proves that Zhou Qihao's play is good and bad, it is not stable at all, no one can guarantee what level he will play next, in the Doha Star Game just defeated the German star Francesca, the next game is a crisp defeat to Aruna, The level of competition and mental outlook shown by the two balls on the field is very different.
Zhou Qihao was able to participate in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships last year, not the national table tennis coaching staff to take care of the quota, but also his consecutive victories before the Olympic Games, the civil war championship and the withdrawal of veterans Ma Long and Xu Xin, which gave him the opportunity. In fact, before the World Table Tennis Championships, Zhou Qihao participated in the two WTT Slovenia Open tournaments on the performance is very general, there is speculation that the men's singles 5 people will replace Liu Dingshuo for next week Qihao, the result is that Zhou Qihao went to Houston, the second round was eliminated by the German veteran Pol, did not stage the 2003 Paris World Table Tennis Championships Qiu Yike first participated in the cold defeat of Bol scene, the whole game Zhou Qihao play can not be said to be abnormal, each link is indeed inferior to Pol, especially the technical application and adaptability of the scene.
From the World Table Tennis Championships to the Doha Star Tournament, Zhou Qihao has lost consecutive foreign wars, from 2013 to the national team in the 10th year still has no men's singles championship title in international major and small competitions, and Lin Gaoyuan, who was previously named the "King of Civil War" by fans, won the Open Championship as early as 2018, or the runner-up of the year-end finals that year, and there are 2 men's team world championships. Zhou Qihao wants to be among the top 5 main players, even as a substitute to rub a world champion is very difficult, after all, the 6 people in front of him are now more stable than him, and the world ranking is far higher than him.
Seeing that Fan Zhendong, who is the same age as Zhou Qihao, is thriving in the Paris cycle, the champion is soft, Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo, Zhao Zihao, Yu Ziyang several team members have stagnated, the performance of the tiger head and tail is afraid that the performance of the tiger head and tail will soon not be reused in the national table tennis, with the emergence of younger players such as Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng, there is also more cultivation value, the future competition quota is limited, there is no foreign war results and stable play, coupled with the slow increase in age, the opportunity can only be less and less.
