On the same venue, the third competition in the evening prime time was the competition between Fan Zhendong and Yu Ziyang. Fan Zhendong is also competing with Yu Ziyang for a place in the men's singles final four. According to the commentator Yan An, Yu Ziyang is a player who is particularly good at using his brain and working particularly hard in the training process. Especially his first three boards, he is still very sharp. Although he has a big difference in fame and comprehensive strength, including world rankings, for Fan Zhendong, because it is a competition between teammates, he also needs to make difficult preparations, strive to play his own routines in the game, and strive to become a winner more easily.
Sure enough, in the first game of the game, Fan Zhendong entered the state very quickly, and the field seemed very passionate, and he took a 5-0 lead in the opening game, but in the middle game stage, Yu Ziyang began to enter the state, and his right hand and his left hand grip also made Fan Zhendong a little uncomfortable playing, so the score of the two in the middle game was once close to 6-10. However, Fan Zhendong still relied on his own slash attack to score, 11-6. Win the first game between the two sides and take a 1-0 lead on the big score. In the second game of the game, Fan Zhendong quickly entered the state, easily won a 7-0 lead, and then continued to maintain this lead, to 7-1 and 8-2, after Yu Ziyang chased 3 points in a row, Fan Zhendong sealed the second game victory with an 11-5 score. Take a 2-0 lead on the big score.
The two sides came to the third game of competition, Yu Ziyang has reached the edge of out, so he began to play some changes in this game, took the initiative to get started and also made some changes in the serve and receiving links, from the opening game to get 3-1 and 5-3 lead, and after being chased by Fan Zhendong to 5-6, he took the initiative to call a timeout for himself. Despite the timeout, the two sides were still deadlocked, and Fan Zhendong once achieved a 9-8 and 10-9 score in the case of 7-8 down. But in the case of getting the match point, Fan Zhendong failed to directly convert it into a game victory, but was chased by Yu Ziyang in a row, almost at the end of the game the key points both sides were in the serve and the first three boards had ended the battle, Yu Ziyang also used his specialty to win back to Yicheng 12-10, and the big score of the two sides came to 1-2.
After winning in the third game, the competition between the two sides in the fourth game can be seen that both of them have entered a very focused state on the court, the first ball played multiple rounds, and it was a combination of hanging, but in the end it was Fan Zhendong who won this point and took a 1-0 lead, and the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw, and the two also began to show their special skills-, of course, in comparison, Fan Zhendong still has an advantage in comprehensive competitiveness, and he also continues to extend the score lead to 8-2 and 10-3, and won the fourth set 11-3.
