In the table tennis WTT Slovenian Star Tournament, the performance of the national table tennis players is simply jaw-dropping. Although Fan Zhendong narrowly lost the match against Brazil's Hugo, he eventually eliminated the opponent 3-2 and secured his way to the cut. Win or lose, Fan Zhendong's attitude towards the game is worthy of recognition. Staying calm when you win and not giving up when you lose is true professionalism.
At the same time, the overall performance of the national table tennis players is also quite dazzling. Mixed doubles has won the championship and runner-up, men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles are all national table tennis teammates finals, such results are indeed exciting, and then usher in the much-anticipated derby battle. It is worth mentioning that the competition of women's doubles is an external battle, and the opponent is the 60-year-old table tennis legend Ni Xialian and Denut have a combination, looking forward to the national table tennis victory again in the last external battle.
There's no denying that the winners of every tournament deserve cheers and celebrations, but we can't ignore those who lose. Setbacks in the game are inevitable, and it's even more important to learn from them and keep improving. I believe that Fan Zhendong has learned a lot about himself in his failure, and he will definitely become more mature.
In future competitions, I hope that the national table tennis team members can continue to maintain such excellent performance. At the same time, I also hope that they will have more free space in training and competitions, master the game in their own way, and create more excitement.
In another men's singles 1/4 final, Wang Chuqin finally relied on his strength advantage to defeat the big dark horse Zhou Qihao 3:0 and successfully advanced. However, the victory in this match was not hard-won, narrowly winning each game by 2 points, and only a little mistake from the opponent suppressed it tightly.
After all, Zhou Qihao is a good player who stands on the international competition and fights, and his previous performance in the arena is really good, especially in this game, he has been fighting hard with Wang Chuqin to the end. However, beating the world number one is not an easy task, and Wang Chuqin's defeat is impressive.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Qihao's recent performance has been quite good, he defeated Ma Long to advance to the men's singles top 8. If Ma Long leaves, the main lineup of the men's team is gradually changing, and although Zhou Qihao's performance fails, it is enough to make people hope for his ability to return to the main lineup of national table tennis. Once in the main lineup, with the honor and standards of the national team, Zhou Qihao will have more opportunities to move forward.
Overall, the competition was impressive. Although the result was somewhat regrettable, Zhou Qihao's performance showed that he has the strength to reinvigorate. Next, both himself and the people around him need to continue to work hard and strive to put on a more exciting performance on the international competition stage.
