On October 22, Beijing time, the WTT Regular Challenge Antalya came to an end, and the five champions went to each family. The absence of Oman and Turkey in the two regular challenges gave the foreign athletes the opportunity to impact the championship, and the world ranking of the end of these two competitions will also change greatly at the end of October.
Tomokazu Chang / Hina Hayata won the mixed doubles final 3-1 against Felix Lebrun/Pritika Parvad in the mixed doubles final of the Antalya Regular Challenge, marking their second international mixed doubles title in two years.
In the women's singles final that ended yesterday, Hina Hayata defeated Han Ying 4-0 to win the championship, the score of four sets was 11-8, 11-9, 11-7, 11-6, Hina Hayata took the initiative throughout the game, with the accumulation of experience and the continuous improvement of strength, Hina Hayada's state became more and more stable and her strength became thicker and thicker, and slowly grew into a strength athlete comparable to the strength of the five golden flowers of national table tennis. This title is also Hina Hayada's second consecutive singles title since winning the Oman Challenge, this month Hina Hayata did not rest four consecutive matches, although the continuous competition is very tiring, but 800 points in hand, at the end of the month her world ranking will also surpass Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi to rise to fourth.
Hina Hayata once said excitedly after winning the Japanese team championship that she is not a genius, she belongs to the type of success if she does not work hard, she has also been training very hard, cherishing every opportunity to compete and learn, and she has always aimed to defeat Chinese players. Although there is still some gap in strength with Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Manyu, from the recent performance, her rising ball is obviously not completely inferior, and every time she sees the hope of victory, it brings her unlimited motivation.
In the men's singles final, 17-year-old French teenager Felix Lebrun won the championship by defeating world number nine Ochalov 4-3, and the two fought hard for seven games against Lebrun's brother tiebreaker with two points, the seven sets were 11-4, 5-11, 15-13, 14-12, 8-11, 9-11, 12-10.
The whole game between the two played very fiercely, the young player was not afraid of mistakes and fearless performance allowed him to achieve the final victory, I believe that the continuous increase in game experience will make him more and more mature and have the strength and thickness of a general. This is his first adult WTT title, which puts him in the top 10 in the world, and he also won the men's singles title at the European Games a few months ago.
In the women's doubles final, the Thai pair Savitabout/Paranan defeated the multinational pair Xiao Yaoxian/Diakonu 3-2 in five sets to win the championship, with scores of 9-11, 8-11, 11-6, 11-2, 11-7
In the men's doubles final, Lim Joong-hoon/Ahn Jae-hyun defeated Exage/Marjories 3-1 to win the championship, and the four sets were 11-5, 11-7, 9-11, 11-3.
The Korean team currently has four men's doubles pairs in the top 10 in the world, and any combination is quite good, Lim Jong-hoon/Jang Woo-jin second, Lee Sang-so/Cho Dae-sung fourth, Cho Seung-min/Ahn Jae-hyun fifth, and Lim Joong-hoon/Ahn Jae-hyun ninth.
National table tennis absent two challenges give foreign athletes the opportunity but also make the table tennis world ranking pattern change, women's singles is no longer six golden flowers dominating the list, men's singles will also usher in new changes, the next championship is still the key competition for each athlete, I believe that the seeding of the finals at the end of the year will have a different lineup.
