Helpless! Brazil's ping-pong slashed 2 points: he ranked 4th in the world, but he couldn't move his teammates

On May 9, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT American Fremont Tournament came to an end, but the American powerhouse Brazil team did not participate in the event, but chose to hold a friendly match with the French team for competition, and Hugo Calderano, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the world, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

In this competition, Hugo played a heroic role and won two big players in a row, including Simon, who eliminated Xu Xin at the World Table Tennis Championships, but his teammates were very weak and lost 3 points in a row, and finally Brazil still lost 2-3 on aggregate, unfortunately!

Friends who pay attention to table tennis in recent years will not know the big name of Hugo Calderano, because this athlete from a football power has created a world ranking record for the entire American table tennis world, reaching the 3rd position in the men's singles, and now also ranks 4th, second only to the national table tennis players Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, surpassing Zhang Benzhihe and others.

In terms of actual combat performance, Hugo has defeated Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Bohr, Zhang Benzhihe and other first-line players in the table tennis world, although he has not achieved any particularly brilliant results, but the results are still very impressive.

But after all, a person's strength is limited, not to mention Hugo's own achievements are not high, low, if you look at his teammates, it is not on the table, so the Brazilian team in the American table tennis can walk sideways, but once placed in the world, it is very unwashed.

Facing the still decaying European veteran team France, Hugo tried his best to win 3-2 against LeBran in the first set and 3-1 against Simon in the fourth set, but his teammate Issy lost 2-3 to Simon in the second set, Yuti lost 2-3 to Akuzu in the third set, and Issie lost 0-3 to Lebran in the fifth set, thus losing the whole game.

Due to the limited level of table tennis in Brazil, coupled with club contracts and other reasons, Hugo has been training in Europe recently, and this time he has brought his teammates from his hometown to compete with French players, but the effect is not good - because it is now the epidemic period, Hugo has not had the opportunity to come to China for guidance.

Due to the high world rankings, Hugo has not been able to participate in the WTT side events recently, so the time of his next return to the international arena is uncertain, so let's wait and see!
