The WTT Tunis Regular Season Challenge ended on the evening of August 6, with a highly anticipated men's doubles final in which China's Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei took on Japan's Zhang Benzhi and/Kizo Yongren combinations.
Chinese men's table tennis currently has a very serious problem, perhaps many people are reluctant to admit this fact, but look at this Tunisia Challenge, we 11 people participated, in terms of singles, no one broke into the final four! Not as good as last month's Budapest Championship!
In the men's doubles, only Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei finally reached the final.
In this Tunisia Challenge, Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei almost became a fig leaf for Chinese men's table tennis, retaining the last glimmer of hope of winning the championship, and they defeated Sweden's Falke/Carlsson in the previous competition, and Zhuang Zhiyuan/Chen Jian'an in Chinese Taipei.
Their opponents in the final were Tomotoshi Zhang Moto and /Isamu Kizoku of Japan.
Although Zhang Benzhihe was out of the second round of the men's singles of this Tunisia Challenge, he was still very strong in doubles, he defeated the Chinese Kuman/Lin Shidong combination with his sister Zhang Benmeihe in the mixed doubles, and then defeated the Chinese Taipei combination in the final to win the championship!
In the men's doubles, Zhang Benzhi and his partner Mu Zuoyongren, the performance is also very eye-catching, this time against Zhao Zihao / Xue Fei, it will be a very fierce confrontation.

In the second game, Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei's state has rebounded, and on the Japanese side, There are problems with Kizo Yongren, there are too many mistakes, although Zhang Benzhihe is still scrappy, but helplessLy Muzo Yongren made too many mistakes in handling the ball, Zhang Benzhi and a person are also helpless, and finally Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei still won back a round with an 11-8 score!
In the third game, Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei was in better and better shape, the Japanese combination faced the attack of Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei, it seemed helpless, and soon Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei took the lead in the score, and finally won another round with an 11-7 score, and the big score was 2-1!
The Japanese combination with no way back launched a fighting tactic at the beginning of the fourth game, Zhang Benzhihe's backhand twisting was still more characteristic, and soon, the Japanese combination achieved a 5-1 lead, and Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei played very tenaciously, once chasing the score to 8-9!
At this time, Zhang Benzhi and the combination quickly called a timeout, and after the suspension came back, Zhang Benzhi and the forehand violent attack scored, stabilized the situation, and finally won the game with an 11-9 score, and the two sides fought to 2 draws!
In the decider, Zhang Benzhi and morale are very fierce, every point won will shout for themselves, and Zhao Zihao / Xue Fei is a little impatient, the two have too many mistakes, in the end, Zhang Benzhi and / Muzo Yongren combination won the game with an 11-6 score!
This is also the second championship won by Zhang Benzhihe in this Tunisia Challenge!
In stark contrast, the 11-person Chinese men's table tennis actually did not receive any results in this competition! This is really unexpected!
In this regard, many fans have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the current Chinese men's table tennis coaching team, believing that Qin Zhijian did not complete the replacement of the old and new Chinese men's table tennis well during his tenure as the head coach, and did not increase the training of young athletes!
At the same time, Qin Zhijian can not solve the psychological pressure resistance of athletes in the game very well, believing that Qin Zhijian does not have the ability to serve as the head coach of Chinese men's table tennis, and has been relying on eating the old bottom left by Liu Guoliang!
Many fans have called on Qin Zhijian: Hurry up and get out of class, change to capable people!
