On January 2, Beijing time, the WTT Doha Men's Finals 2023 schedule has been released, and the first day of the competition will officially start on January 3. A total of 6 members of the national table tennis men's team participated in the competition, including Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong, and a total of 16 international male players participated in the competition, and the schedule was divided into two events: men's singles and men's doubles.
The results of this draw are still quite good, and in the upper and lower halves, the national table tennis team has three people respectively. In the top half, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan are in this zone, while Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong are in the bottom half, so as to ensure that both the upper and lower halves can successfully advance to the finals.
The first day of competition was very intense, especially Liang Jingkun's first round match against Lin Yunru of Chinese Taiwan, who made rapid progress in the 2023 international competition, and he did not fall behind in the game with Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, which can be said to be very powerful, and his mentality is also very stable, and he played very bravely in the competition.
Liang Jingkun has a certain strength and a very solid foundation, but his achievements in international competitions still need to go further, so it is really difficult to say whether he wins or loses in the duel between him and Lin Yunru.
Ma Long met Zhang Yuzhen of the South Korean team in the first round, and the latter's strength should not be underestimated, but Ma Long, as a hexagonal warrior, even if he is over 35 years old, his energy cannot be compared with that of young people, but his strength and experience are still top-notch, fortunately, Zhang Yuzhen's age is about the same, and the duel between the two must be very exciting.
In the face of European giants, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's chances of winning are not great, but in 2023, there are not many fights between Tomokazu Zhang and Ocharov, and Tomokazu Zhangmoto's progress is not small, so it will be interesting to see who can advance smoothly!
