The 2023 WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament was contested in a number of fierce battles on March 15. National Table Tennis Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong and others all play multiple games a day. Among the main players in the national table tennis competition, some of the main players once again suffered losses and missed the next round. The much-watched fat fish group, and Chen Xingtong, who was highly expected by fans, both tasted defeat.
March 15 singles match results
Women's singles
Han Ying of Germany 3-1 Chen Xingtong
Polka Doll 3-0 Samara
Zhangrui 3-2 Japan Miu Hirano
Qian Tianyi 3-2 Yuan Jianan of France
The three main players in the second half of the national table tennis women's singles played the match. Zhang Rui defeated Japan's Miyu Hirano 3-2 and sent the last singles player out of the tournament, making great contributions to National Table Ping. Qian Tianyi became a model for the big reversal in this competition. In the five-game battle with Ito, Ito held 2 match points in the tiebreaker and basically had the victory in hand. Unexpectedly, Xu Hui activated Qian Tianyi's mind with a pause, and after playing on the field, he reversed the game with consecutive points and eliminated the strongest female player in Japanese ping. In the match to advance to the quarterfinals, after losing two consecutive games, the tenacious three consecutive games eliminated the veteran Yuan Jianan. Qian Tianyi's performance in this Grand Slam tournament was fantastic.
To the fans, it is regrettable that Chen Xingtong is out. Although he all knows that chipping is not good to play, if Chen Xingtong thinks more about ways in the game with Han Ying, he actually has a chance to win. Chen Xingtong is good at multi-round pulling with strong attacking opponents, but there is no change in the chipping ball hidden in the mianli, and Chen Xingtong even played a 46-beat round with Han Ying in the game, which shows that for special players who play chipping or playing raw rubber, Chen Xingtong still needs to learn and improve. This time he did not have the opportunity to advance, which also made Chen Xingtong miss the opportunity to prove himself again.
Men's singles
Wang Chuqin 3-0 Singapore's Guo Yong
Fan Zhendong 3-0 South Korea's Lim Joong-hoon
Lin Gaoyuan 3-2 Liang Jingkun
Moregaude 3-2 Hayasuke Togami
In the men's singles, Wang Chuqin Dong defeated Singapore's Guo Yong in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals. Fan Zhendong also swept South Korea's Lim Joong-hoon 3-0. The performance of the two main generals was fantastic. They both beat Singapore's Fung Yiu-yan/Kwok Yong 3-1 in the men's doubles match on the same day. Wang Chuqin actually defeated Guo Yong twice a day.
Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun ushered in civil war. The two have met eight times before in various competitions, and Lin has won only twice. Especially in last year's Macau Championship and the recent Goa Stars Tournament, Lin Gaoyuan lost to Leung Jingkun. In this match, Lin Gaoyuan continued to fight Liang Jingkun for five games, and in the tiebreaker, Lin Gaoyuan withstood the pressure to complete the redemption. Finally over the mountain of Liang Jingkun. After Lin Gaoyuan advanced to the quarterfinals, he will compete with Wang Chuqin for a place in the semifinals, which is another civil war worth watching.
Mixed doubles aspect
Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin 3-1 Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru/Chen Siyu
Fan Zhendong/Wang Manyu, 0-3, Hina Hayada/Tomokazu Chang of Japan
In the match between Sha Tou and Chinese Taipei on the afternoon of March 15, the two performed relatively steadily, losing only one game. Advance strongly to the mixed doubles competition. Fans are looking forward to Sha Tou and Fat Fish teaming up. However, in another semifinal played in the evening, Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu could not withstand the attack of Zhihe Zhang / Hina Hayada, and unfortunately lost 0-3 to miss the final. But it doesn't matter, the fat fish was originally a temporary pair, and it is already excellent to be able to reach the final four. The heavy responsibility of blocking the Japanese table is left to Sha Tou!
