The WTT Challenger Taiyuan has come to the second half, first Liang Jingkun defeated Huang Zhenting, and then in the men's doubles, Wang Chuqin defeated the Korean pair; And Lin Gaoyuan narrowly defeated Yoshimura Maharu with an injury, and Lin Shidong swept Gerardo.
Liang Jingkun's doubles ability improved, and he led Wang Chuqin to defeat Lee Sang-so/Cho Dae-sung
Liang Jingkun used to be a famous doubles black hole, and few left-handed players were able to lead him; And Wang Chuqin, whether in men's doubles or mixed doubles, has to rely on his partner to start, and his own doubles ability is relatively weak. If there is no doubles partner with a relatively high quality of the board, then Wang Chuqin is also a lagging side in the doubles, and even Ma Long cannot make up for Wang Chuqin's weakness of insufficient quality of the board.
After Liang Jingkun began to partner with Qian Tianyi in mixed doubles, his doubles ability has indeed improved, and his ability in the men's doubles event has begun to show, as long as his teammates are not the kind that lags behind, the effect is still very good. Due to Liang Jingkun's improved doubles ability, coupled with his very high single-board quality, Wang Chuqin's lack of doubles ability has been compensated. This time, the opponent is Lee Sang-so/Cho Dae-sung, who had defeated Ma Long/Wang Chuqin in 2022, but were defeated by Ma Long/Yuan Licen this year.
Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of this competition lies in whether Wang Chuqin will drag his feet under the premise that the quality of Liang Jingkun's veneer is sufficient. If Wang Chuqin can't play like Yuan Licen cooperated with Ma Long, or if he didn't keep up with Ma Long's rhythm like last time, he would be very passive. Luckily, Liang showed what he was capable of improving and bringing Wang Chuqin to his advantage, so he could easily get the better of the South Korean pair this time.
Lin Gaoyuan fought with injuries and narrowly defeated Yoshimura Maharu, and the next game will not be easy.
Lin Gaoyuan suffered a knee injury in the National Championships before, and it still has a lot of impact. So much so that in the battle with Yoshimura Maharu, it was impossible to use the twist and pull as before. Although Lin Gaoyuan defeated Yoshimura Maharu, the next round will only be more difficult for Lin Gaoyuan. Because of this competition, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Zhongxun were in the same district, and they had a chance to face each other, but Lin Zhongxun lost to Wu Huicheng. Therefore, Lin Gaoyuan's match with Wu Huicheng is bound to be a very difficult match.
In the first half of the district, only Lin Shidong was left to guard the area, and the men's doubles with Lin Gaoyuan was also a difficult task.
Because Xu Yingbin sent Wang Chuqin a round of tours, but was then defeated by Hayasuke Togami, Lin Shidong is now left in the upper half of the men's singles. Lin Shidong swept Gerardo in the last round, and the opponent he faced in the next round was Gao Chengrui, which belonged to a duel between peers. Under normal play, Lin Shidong can win relatively easily, and will face the winner between Cho Dacheng and Hayasuke Togami in the semi-finals.
In Men's Doubles, Lin Gaoyuan/Lin Shidong will face the toughest challenge against Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting/Ho Kwan Kit. The reason why it is difficult is because Lin Gaoyuan's knee injury will affect the overall performance. Therefore, Lin Shidong's task is very arduous, not only to guard the upper half of the men's singles, but also to take on as much as possible in the men's doubles.
Lin Shidong and Lin Gaoyuan's singles matches both started at 10:35 a.m., and men's doubles matches at 12:55 a.m.; Liang Jingkun's men's singles and men's doubles start at 11:45 and 16:35 respectively. So what are the fans looking forward to?
