At 19:30 Beijing time on October 9, the men's team final of the World Table Tennis Championships team, the Chinese team played against the German team and competed for the championship. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team narrowly defeated the Japanese team 3-2, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong both lost to Zhang Benzhihe, the final faced Germany, the national table tennis platoon is still a point of view, whether Ma Long continues to play the third singles, which is also the focus of the final.
In the semi-final matchup, China and Germany both narrowly won 3-2 to advance, and both encountered great tests. In the final competition, the national table tennis personnel should not change much, and Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long should continue to appear. Although Wang Chuqin lost to Zhang Benzhihe, he still withstood the test in the fifth game, locking in the victory for the Chinese team and advancing to the final.
Fan Zhendong's loss to Zhang Benzhihe is a pity, he lost two consecutive 11-9 in a 2-1 lead, which is indeed a pity. In the face of the final, Fan Zhendong still has to adjust his mentality in time. From the perspective of the personnel of the German team, their personnel are also relatively fixed, Qiu Dang, Duda and Stamper are the three players of the German team, and the national table tennis should have targeted arrangements.
From the perspective of overall strength, the advantages of national table tennis are obvious, but it is only the competition of the final, which tests the on-the-spot play and mentality. Malone was the third singles in the semi-finals, and the final could be a similar arrangement, so it would be a safe choice for him to play in the third game, otherwise it would be a big drain on him. Fan Zhendong should still take the lead, whether it is against Du Da or Qiu Dang, he also has an advantage.
In the final competition, Wang Chuqin should still play in the second game, for the young Wang Chuqin, the experience of the World Table Tennis Championships team competition is very large, especially when it is constantly tested, which is also the time to grow. In the final, Wang Chuqin still has to pack lightly and put down his baggage in order to have better results. The final is scheduled for 19:30, CCTV Sports Channel live broadcast, looking forward to the Chinese boy band to defend the title again.
