Table tennis WTT Bulgaria has begun, although the qualifiers are not over, but there are already world champions who have suffered defeats: in the men's doubles showdown, Chen Jian'an, a Chinese Taipei star who won the gold medal in the world table tennis championships in this project, has planted a heel, and together with his partner Huang Yuren, he lost 1-3 to the national team combination Zhou Kai /Ren Hao, and the "one round tour" was eliminated.
And just a few days ago, Chen Jian'an also lost consecutively in the WTT Czech Republic, the men's doubles, men's singles were out early, in stark contrast to the singles victory over Zhang Jike, doubles to win the world championship, netizens can't help but sigh: it is really good to mention the courage of the year!
Born in 1991, Chen Jian'an is a "veteran" on the field, who became famous in table tennis by defeating Zhang Jike as early as the Rio Olympic cycle. At the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Chen Jian'an cooperated with veteran Zhuang Zhiyuan to defeat the national team combinations Wang Liqin/Zhou Yu and Ma Lin/Hao Shuai to win gold, thus realizing the dream of world championship.
However, time has passed, and today's Chen Jian'an is almost deceitful, losing to players of various ranks in international competitions many times, and this time the Bulgarian competition has also fallen behind.
In the first round of the men's doubles qualifiers of the Bulgarian tournament, Chen Jian'an / Huang Yuren encountered the national team's Zhou Kai / Ren Hao, although Huang Yuren's level is average, but Chen Jian'an is the world champion of this project after all, and Zhou Kai and Ren Hao's rank is not high, and there is no good result in the usual cooperative doubles, but the Chinese Taipei combination still lost the game.
In the first set, Chen Jian'an/ Huang Yuren fought hard until the last two points lost, losing 10-12, and in the second set, the two won back a city 11-7. In the third set, they competed for key points, resulting in Chen Jian'an/ Huang Yuren losing 9-11 and losing the whole game 7-11 in the fourth set.
From a technical point of view, Chen Jian'an is seriously aging, although in recent years, the quality of backhand twisting has been increased, and his previous playing style based on bouncing has been large-scale modified, but still has not achieved any good results, and the same backhand style of Swedish young player Moregold has become the runner-up of the men's singles of the World Table Tennis Championships, it seems that the main problem is not in this link.
Next, Chen Jian'an will appear on September 2 to participate in the men's singles main competition, so will he still lose the game? How many rounds can you advance this time? The suspense is still there, let's wait and see the performance of the 31-year-old veteran!
