On October 11, Beijing time, the 2023 Yangzhou Table Tennis National Championship was launched as scheduled. Among the many eye-catching matches, a special duel attracted the attention of many spectators: that is, the direct shootout between the 33-year-old national table tennis veteran Xu Xin and the 23-year-old young player Xu Haidong. This style of play is relatively rare among both domestic and foreign players, so this match is highly anticipated, and who can be better has become the focus of attention on the field at the moment.
At the beginning of the first game, Xu Xin took the lead with a solid start, and his serve and serve showed a wealth of skill and experience. However, as the game progressed, Xu Xin's condition gradually declined, and his mistakes increased. In contrast, Xu Haidong's performance was more stable, and he successfully resisted Xu Xin's counterattack with his sharp attack. Xu Haidong won the first set 11-8.
At the beginning of the second game, Xu Haidong once again showed his strong strength. He took a 5-2 advantage in the opening stages of the game before using backhand backhand to stretch the score to 9-5. Although Xu Xin struggled to catch up after that, Xu Haidong relied on his steady play and scoring ability in key moments to win another game 11-8, with a 2-0 lead.
In the three games, the two sides competed fiercely on the basis of the first two games. Xu Xin found some signs of resilience in this game, and he won the game 11-8 to chase the big score to 1-2.
However, in the fourth game, Xu Haidong once again stabilized his position and won the fourth set 11-6, thus eliminating Xu Xin with a 3-1 score and successfully advancing to the round of 32.
In this game, Xu Haidong's performance is undoubtedly the better side. He has shown advanced technique and a higher level of competition in the game, performing quite well in terms of serve, serve, attack and defense. Especially when facing an experienced veteran like Xu Xin, Xu Haidong can stay calm, give full play to his advantages, and win the game. It can be said that this victory is well deserved for Xu Haidong.
Although Xu Xin lost to young player Xu Haidong in the competition, his performance is still worthy of recognition. In the case of falling behind, Xu Xin did not give up his efforts, but persevered to the end, once chasing the score to 1-2. Although he failed to reverse the situation of the game, Xu Xin's tenacious spirit still won the respect and applause of the audience. It is also understandable to lose the game, after all, Xu Xin has been out of battle for a long time, and the training is not systematic. I believe that in the future competition, Xu Xin will return to the field in a better state and bring us more wonderful performances and surprises. #2023 Table Tennis All Championships##Xu Xin#
