As of the evening of June 29, Beijing time, in the first round of the main competition of the 2023 WTT Regular Challenge Zagreb, the men's and women's singles 1/16 finals participated by national table tennis players were all over, and two players from the national table tennis men's and women's teams were out.
Men's singles 7 people participated, 6 matches, except for a "civil war", the other 5 foreign battles, the national table tennis achieved 4 wins and 1 loss.
1. Zhou Qihao 3-2 Lee Sang-so, five-set scoreline: 11-4, 7-11, 6-11, 11-7, 11-5.
Zhou Qihao won the match point 10-4 in the tiebreaker and established an absolute advantage early.
2. Lin Gaoyuan 3-0 Liang Liang, three sets scores: 11-9, 11-4, 14-12.
Liang has an excellent forehand, but Lin Gaoyuan's forehand and backhand are more balanced, and his backhand speed is faster, and he has a clear advantage in the near stage.
3. Fan Zhendong 3-0 Ahn Jae-hyun, three sets scores: 11-7, 12-10, 12-10.
An Jae-hyun has momentum, but Fan Zhendong is stronger, and Fan Zhendong is a late strike in the three games and wins in reverse.
4. Yuan Licen 2-3 Zhuang Zhiyuan, five game scores: 11-6, 9-11, 13-11, 6-11, 7-11.
Although Zhuang Zhiyuan is older, his technology is obviously more delicate than Yuan Licen, and his grasp of the mentality at critical moments is better. Faced with a big score of 1-2 behind, Zhuang Zhiyuan took the lead at the beginning and took the lead early, so that Yuan Licen had to give up this game. In the tiebreaker, Yuan Licen led 5-2, but Zhuang Zhiyuan clung to the score, resulting in a collapse of mentality and even a mistaken serve to send the opponent to the match point.
5. Xiang Peng 3-1 Ruven Filus, four sets scoreline: 3-11, 11-9, 11-5, 11-5.
After Xiang Peng's crushing defeat in the first game, he won the second game with difficulty, gradually found his favorite rhythm, and finally won three consecutive games in a reversal.
6. Lin Shidong 3-2 Zhao Shengmin, five game scores: 11-7, 6-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-5.
It was one of the matches that fans followed the most on that matchday.
Zhao Shengmin won back-to-back victories over Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong at the Macau Championships, and swept Lin Shidong 3-0. This time the two sides are fighting again, Lin Shidong definitely hopes to "take revenge" to increase his confidence and see if there has been progress in the past two months.
Although Lin Shidong's backhand is very threatening, Zhao Shengmin's defensive ability is very strong, and it seems that Lin Shidong's return ball is particularly good for his way. And Lin Shidong couldn't catch Zhao Shengmin's serve throughout the game, especially the short ball in the stage, Lin Shidong was easy to risk high when receiving the serve, Zhao Shengmin backhand quick tear or forehand picking, repeatedly tried. Therefore, the initiative of the game is mostly in the hands of Zhao Shengmin.
In the tiebreaker, Zhao Shengmin missed a basket, and I don't know what the reason was that made his state fluctuate greatly. Lin Shidong took a 7-1 lead. Although Zhao Shengmin once chased the score to 4-8, his hair extensions in the tiebreaker were indeed too poor, Lin Shidong won the set point 10-5 and won the last game 11-5 to win 3-2.
Women's singles 5 people participated, 4 matches, except for a "civil war", the other 3 foreign battles, the national table tennis achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.
1. Quang Man 3-1 Zhang An, four sets scores: 11-5, 11-4, 5-11, 11-2.
Kuman is characterized by a left-handed grip and a near platform fast belt; Zhang An is holding the racket with his right hand, and is used to retreating and pulling back.
2. Liu Weishan 3-1 Asuka Sasao, 4 sets: 11-9, 14-12, 7-11, 12-10.
Although Liu Weishan won, it was difficult to win, and the three games won were all 2 points.
Liu Weishan saved 5 innings in the second game, 5 innings in the third inning, and 2 innings in the fourth inning, saving a total of 12 innings in one game, which is really amazing.
3. Qian Tianyi 1-3 Haruka Kochi, four sets scores: 12-10, 4-11, 6-11, 2-11.
Qian Tianyi is known for his speed, his strength is slightly insufficient, and he can't beat the ball.
Although Xiao Yana's ability to cut and turn to attack is average, the chipping ball is very stable, making it difficult for Qian Tianyi to find opportunities to score, and barely getting started leads to his own mistakes.
4. Sun Yingsha 3-0 He Zhuojia, three sets scores: 11-4, 13-11, 11-7.
The two are very familiar and know the roots. He Zhuojia wanted to create some difficulties for Sun Yingsha, but now the gap in strength between the two sides is already very large, and the second game originally had a chance to win the next game, but in the end he didn't seize it.
