Table tennis WTT Kazakhstan, Bulgaria fierce battle, Beijing time on August 30 is about to usher in the second day of the showdown, the current Chinese team athletes play steadily, a total of four appearances, four times defeated foreign association athletes, two of the games are 11-1 small score, three big scores are 3-0 win, indeed a big victory.
But there are also difficulties, straight shot young player Xu Haidong in the face of France, European Championship men's singles champion in the vicious battle of 5 games narrowly won, 2-0 lead after losing 2 consecutive games, fortunately or 3-2 laughed to the end, not easy, congratulations to him and Guoping!
Friends who pay attention to the table tennis world know that at present, the main force of the Chinese team has gone to South Korea to make final preparations for the Pyeongchang Asian Championships, and the last day of the WTT Kazakhstan and Bulgaria matches happens to be the first day of the Asian Championships, and the coaching staff can naturally only send non-main players to participate, and this is twenty-eight people, and the two competitions each account for half, which is also a huge momentum.
Relatively speaking, the level of the Kazakhstan tournament is higher, and the ranking advantage of the non-main national table tennis is not large, so three qualifying matches were played on the first day; The Bulgarian tournament is a very low level, so many people have the opportunity to participate in the main tournament without the test.
In Kazakhstan, the battle between Xu Haidong and Lebesson, who won the men's singles championship at the European Championships and was also the fourth mixed doubles athlete at the Olympics, although he is now old, his left-handed horizontal and quick-pull arc ball style has natural restraint for Xu Haidong, who plays straight with his right hand, so this fight is very difficult to fight.
After the start of the match, Xu Haidong fell into a passive position in the first set and trailed 6-10 not long after, but he still scored six consecutive points to stage a big comeback to win 12-10, and then won 11-6 in the second game, with a 2-0 lead in sight.
Facing the impact of the youngster, Lebesson won the third game 11-9, and then won 11-8 in the fourth game, seeing that it seemed to be about to stage a turnaround, but Xu Haidong did not mess with himself, and finally won the tiebreaker 11-7, eliminating the famous player 3-2, while the men's doubles also swept the host pair Artukmetov/Akimari 3-0 with Sun Wen, good!
The other two matches were also won 3-0, among which Shi Xunyao/Zhu Sibing defeated Mocharkina/Koshkombaeva 11-1 in a single game, and Song Zhuoheng/Sun Zheng also attacked Dimitrov/Kotev 11-1 in Bulgaria, with a huge disparity in strength.
I hope that the national table tennis athletes can maintain good condition and continue to win the victory in foreign wars: come on!
